‘I’ve encountered theater ‘casually’. I wanted to study marine biology, and a summer course drove me to the major discovery in my life: theater. I’ve done everything: acting, stage directing, and finally writing. Last year, I turned 20 as a writer, and after all those years, I feel more vulnerable, as if I were in the abyss. Now, after many years I feel that knowledge is not enough, you can never reach what you want, but that feeling is what makes me write.’ verónica musalem.
