Anita Sophia Somogyi came into this world bearing strange initials, born (somewhat-)straight into the heart of Vienna (Ottakring 1997). After finishing high school she spent two years on a Canadian island to study the Christian Life. Upon her return she went off to study the Acting Life at the Zurich University of the Arts.
During her studies she would guest at the City Theater in Constance working with Susanne Frieling, and pioneered the Erasmus-programme in Acting at the Max Reinhardt Seminar, where she was trained by Emily Cox and attended the directing class of Martin Kušej.
In Switzerland she was happy to be coached by the likes of Anne Haug, Judith Hofmann, Maximilian Hanisch, played in "Freiheit Fortschritt, Faterland" in Lucerne, aswell as in works by Cam (aka "Eternal Damnation") and developed the Existential Dance-Hymn "Ode to Fragility" featuring David Attenberger.
Her self-written performances have been discussing Mental Health, Christian Rap & Social Bubbles, "the walled garden" Apple Inc., and Integrity within Theater.
In late 2024 she assisted Ron Rosenbergs SeniorLab at the Kulturmarkt Zürich for "Caring Communities"; a play about allyship and climate change.
Anita dances, sings, writes, works as a facility manager, and continues to display a great set of core values (liver, kidneys).
