Description
With this *Orlando*, we dive into the fictional biography of literature’s most famous transgender character. How does one become oneself in a society that already claims to define us?
Virginia Woolf’s answer lies in her protagonist’s wild journey through four centuries, during which Orlando will be, in turn, a favorite of Elizabeth I, the lover of a Russian princess, an ambassador, a socialite, an aspiring poet, a bisexual, and a writer—successively and all at once.
An ode to emancipatory imagination in the face of times when the onslaught of reality suffocates us, Katia Ferreira’s staging embraces the novel’s fantasy without downplaying the violence of the patriarchal, classist, and colonial oppressions denounced by the author.
