Bio:
Alina Serban was born in 1987 in a Roma family in Romania. She overcame tremendous hardships to become a professional actress as well as Romania’s first Roma woman director, playwright and initiator of Roma feminist political theater since 2009. She is a graduate of the Bucharest University for theatrical art and cinematography (UNATC) and obtained her master in Theatre Lab at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (London). Trained at the Tisch School of the Arts (New York University), Alina became widely known through her one-woman show, I declare at my own risk, based on her experience as a Roma girl growing up in a traditional impoverished Roma community. The play was performed in Romania as well as in England, France, Italy and Hungary among others. Winner of the Rich Mix’s contest ‘Stories of London’, Alina wrote and directed Home, a play investigating the challenges of being an immigrant in the UK. Supported by the Arts Council UK, Alina is part of the prestigious Tara Arts platform called Black Theatre Live supporting BAME (Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic) artists. In the last nine years, she performed in several films and plays carrying a social message in Romania and abroad (Sun that cast no shadows, Turfed, Roma Sapiens). She also wrote and produced projects meant to fight against racism and other forms of discrimination. Alina Serban is the image of the 2018 One World Romania human rights documentary festival and part of the cast of Written/Unwritten – a short nominated for the 2017 European Film Awards. After extensive research she wrote The Great Shame - the first theatre play addressing the widely unknown topic of Roma slavery and its impact on the Roma identity and today’s relationship between Roma and non-Roma. In April 2018, The Great Shame became the first play written and directed by a Roma woman to become part of the permanent repertoire of a state theatre in Romania. Alina is starring in the main role in the upcoming feature films Seule à mon mariage (Belgium) and Gipsy Queen (Austria-Germany). Seule à mon marriage had the world premiere at Cannes in May 2018 as an ACID selection.
