FAUNA

By playwright Romina Paula

US premiere at Torn Page (NYC)

​

FAUNA brings together four characters involved in the making of a film, a film that will never be made: a fictionalized biography based on a legendary figure who in her lifetime dressed like a man, translated Rilke, and rode her horse with abandon through the campo until she was in her nineties. FAUNA contemplates how to tell the story of a life, questions what is true and real, and asks us to decipher where fiction and the real co-exist.
