As a playwright, novelist, actor, and director of theater and film, Paula defies traditional boundaries between the arts, engaging different modes of production, and borrowing freely from the languages of theater, film, dance, photography, and music. In the four plays collected here--\u003ci\u003eThe Sound It Makes\u003c\/i\u003e (2007), \u003ci\u003eThe Whole of Time\u003c\/i\u003e (2009), \u003ci\u003eFauna\u003c\/i\u003e (2013), and \u003ci\u003eRewilding\u003c\/i\u003e (2016)--Paula moves us to think about how we tell the stories of people's lives, exploring synergies between documentary and fiction, and the role of art in expressing ideas of love, family, gender, and sexuality. Paula's plays imagine worlds that are both poetically expansive and intimate. Paula belongs to a new generation of Argentine artists influenced by feminist activism and the collective mobilization against gender violence that has revolutionized Latin America in the early twenty-first century. Her vision expressed through these moving plays collected in this volume will be welcome by literature enthusiasts and activists alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRomina Paula \u003c\/b\u003eis an Argentine writer, actor, and director of theater and film.
