Welket Bungué to Discuss Identity and History at Tribeca Lisbon
Actor and screenwriter Welket Bungué is set to participate in a panel discussion at Tribeca Lisbon, focusing on the intersection of identity and history. Known internationally for his roles in 'Berlin Alexanderplatz' and 'Crimes of the Future', Bungué is an advocate for diversity in Portuguese series and believes Lisbon should embrace its multiculturalism.
Bungué, who is also an author and art professional, considers his international background and language skills as his unique strength in the industry. He criticizes the lack of diversity in national Portuguese series, both culturally and ethnically, and challenges the notion that Portuguese audiences only want to see one type of body on screen.
The actor, who is better known internationally than in Portugal, has upcoming projects including a priest role and a book tied to his father's legacy. He will also be involved in short films. Bungué's multicultural background has shaped his perspective and contributed to his success in the industry.
Bungué's participation in the Tribeca Lisbon panel is a testament to his commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion in the arts. His upcoming projects, including a podcast appearance on 'No Último Episódio' by José Paiva Capucho, reflect his dedication to pushing boundaries and challenging norms in the industry.
