Project

At Faber I intend to find quality time for my writing. I will be working on my next novel, specially the revision of the text. If I have enough time, I’ll be also working on my next theatre play, called Casting. The perfect partner, which I already began a month ago. I am also very interested on the exchange of ideas and projects with the other national and international residents, an interesting opportunity to find new synergies.
