The incredible Mexican actress Maria Bosque will play the starring role of Dora in the upcoming production of "The Beach of Joseph K" at La MaMa Theater.

LOS ANGELES, CA, USA, November 8, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Known for her ability to tap into the most challenging roles, Mexican actress Maria Bosque is slated to star in the upcoming theater production “The Beach of Joseph K,” which will debut in 2015 at New York’s La MaMa Theater.

Located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, La MaMa Theater was founded in 1961 and has been honored with over 30 Obie Awards, dozens of Drama Desk Awards, Bessie Awards and Villager Awards.

An original experimental play based on the work of Franz Kafka, “The Beach of Joseph K” follows a cast of anti-heros as they try to survive in an absurd reality wrought with loneliness and despair, and a seemingly inescapable subjugation enforced by the mysterious and invisible powers at hand. Maria Bosque will take the stage in the leading role of Dora, a young woman who is forced into prostitution as a means for survival due to the depressing circumstances of war.

“This is a very complex play and a very challenging character, there are a lot of characters that are stuck in this “beach” and are forced to live by the rules of this place. It is like a concentration camp,” explained Bosque.

Try as she might to find salvation from the wretched reality she calls home, Bosque’s character Dora gets pregnant but due to the inhumane powers of ‘The Law’ her child is taken from her, and with no way of finding her newborn son, Dora is left completely alone in the world once again.

“This is a project that I am very passionate about and am very excited to be part of,” said Bosque. “It will be my first play in New York, and I am so honored to be working with this incredible group of talented loving actors.”

“The Beach of Joseph K” will be directed by award-winning director Elia K. Schneider, who is known for the films “Desautorizados,” “A Dot and a Line” and “Huelepega: Ley de la calle.” Schneider’s film “A Dot and a Line,” also known as “Punto y Raya” garnered her the Golden Precolumbian Circle Award for Best Director at the Bogota Film Festival, the Kikito Critics Prize for Best Latin Film at the Gramado Film Festival, the Jury Award for Best Film at the Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival and the Special Jury award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, and her film “Desautorizados,” also known as “Un-authorized” was nominated for a Golden Goblet Awards at the Shanghai Film Festival.

Schneider, who is known for infusing her productions with dark and provoking visuals that supersede linguistic boundaries, is the founder and artistic director of Teatro Dramma and has directed several renowned theater productions over the course of her career including “A Peticion del Publico,” “Blumfeld,” “Stasis,” “Rooms,” “The Lesson,” “Emigrants” and “Gaz,” which was part of the Worldwide Commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Holocaust.

“Maria is one of those people who is blessed with inspiration. When she works on a play she forgets about the technique and she throws herself deep into the emotions,” explained Elia K. Schneider. “She is passionate, giving, and has a great respect and love for her profession, I admire her."

In addition to her upcoming role in “The Beach of Joseph K,” Maria Bosque has starred in several acclaimed theater productions including “Six Degrees of Separation” directed by Oscar winner Milton Justice, “The Seagull” directed by Tim McNeil, as well “Middleton,” “Waiting for Godot,” “Titus Andronicus” and “The Marriage of Bette and Boo.”

“The first thing that I look for in a project is a good story, a story worth telling and a character that speaks to me,” said Bosque.

Originally from Mexico City, Mexico, Maria Bosque found her love for the world of acting in her youth while performing in the production of “The Wizard of Oz” in Victoria, Canada. Bosque went on to play leading roles in several films including “Ellas,” where she played the Lolita-esque role of Anna, a young woman who seduces her stepfather and breaks up her family as a result. Some of this talented young actress’s other films include “Solo Yo,” where she played the starring role of Sofia, “Final Test” where she stars as Laurel, and “Oh Jesus” where she stars as Violet.

Maria Bosque is also currently working on the new series “It Happens,” which will debut in 2015. “It Happens” follows Bosque in the dynamic role of Joanna, an eccentric painter who is in love with life and inspired by everything around her.

Be sure to keep your eyes out for Maria Bosque in the upcoming series “It Happens,” and if you’re in New York catch her in the riveting production of “The Beach of Joseph K.”
