LiLi/Darwin

"Del Fabro’s passionate delivery makes each monologue utterly enthralling. She’s captivating on stage, expertly dialing the intensity up and down as she pleases. Darwin is animated in a way Lili never is, yelling and whispering as if the words are pouring out of her of their own volition. Del Fabro’s skillful performance sees her excel in dual roles, yet her star shines brightest when she’s simply being herself."

Theatre Scene

"The play is a testament to the power of personal storytelling, proving that the most profound truths are often found in the most intimate moments.
...courageous and compelling piece of theater that challenges, moves, and lingers in the mind long after the curtain falls. It’s a must-see for anyone who appreciates honest, human storytelling."

Hollywood Press Corps

"Lili / Darwin is an essential experience.
...the play’s power lies most of all in Del Fabro’s performance. With a mic’d voice, she invites us into her heart. Her delivery is unforced, unguarded, and often poetic. Her passion soars, her anger rumbles, and her vulnerability radiates. I couldn’t take my eyes off her."

A poetic solo performance exploring the intimate, overlapping journeys of Lili Elbe and Darwin Del Fabro, LILI/DARWIN invites the audience into a raw, unflinching world of identity, memory, and becoming. Through voice, projection, and powerful language, Darwin brings to life the blurred lines of self and story, history and present.
