'Faena', a theatrical production staged at the Plaza de Toros de COHO, integrates humor, chaos, and themes surrounding bullfighting through the lens of playwright Dylan Hankins. The show challenges conventional theater norms and features dynamic performances, particularly from actors like Rocco Weyer, who brings a comedic twist by portraying both Carmen and a bull. The title 'Faena' holds multiple meanings, reinforcing the play's energetic and multifaceted narrative. Vivid moments abound as Hankins engages deeply with the audience, reminiscent of a matador's performance, making it a distinct experience within the local arts scene.
"If you like irreverent, chaotic, laugh-out-loud theater, then Faena backs that ass up. If you want one of those 'crumpets on the lawn' plays, this one is not one of those."
"From the beginning, Hankins charges at the audience, as if he himself were the matador or the bull, operating as a co-narrator while distracting them during scene changes."
