Role and Objectives

"Nursery Rhyme of a Madman connects my previous work with my future affinities. Being able to revisit The Madman and the Nun, recalling my performance as Dr. Bidello six years ago on the stage, is an exciting opportunity, one which will allow me to exercise and further explore my passion for acting. As someone who draws, paints, and produces own music, I am particularly fascinated by Igor’s vision for Nursery Rhyme of a Madman It is a vision which I believe is a link between and towards the deepest forms of artistic language.
