Joining the cast of the Zurich production of BETM for its second season will be 12 year old Laris Emino Tamarut. Laris hails from Reinach, which is a municipality in the district Arlesheim in the canton of Basel-Country in Northwest Switzerland. He attends secondary school there.
In his early life, like a lot of young men, Laris was very active and enthusiastic about participating in a wide variety of sports, including soccer, tennis, acrobatics, judo and boxing.
At the age of seven, he discovered hip hop and breakdancing, both of which he continues to enjoy to this day. And he’s excelled as a dancer. In both group and solo performances, he has won several Swiss championship titles and has participated in three world championships.
Laris has performed several times at Musical Theater Basel, at the Kinder-Charivari, and at the Eurovision Song Contest. That involvement gave him a taste of being on stage and led him to a new passion.
So he began taking tap dancing and ballet and that led him to audition for more musicals including this one and he’s now really thrilled to play the lead role of Billy — truly a dream come true for him.
