Persona Teatro Performance Art Theatre was founded by Roberta Arato and Aurora Sahatci in 2013. They feature authors and performers in Italian and English, offline and online. I got to know them when I found the wonderful 'A Woman Without Qualities' performance on zoom. I was inspired by their visual style and by their incredible story-telling techniques. Our conversation is about their work and the future of zoom theatre. Do have a look at their output. It is superb.
