Questions answered by Fenia Gianni.
Q1: If you could take just one record with you to survive the Fringe — your ultimate comfort, hype, or grounding track — what would it be, and why?
Easy: definitely Insomnia by Faithless — all the hype of Her Raving Mind. You’ll lose sleep… but not from weird show rituals (promise!). Pure chaos from our mad show and that clubbing beat, making you debate life at 3 a.m. with a £7 hotdog while talking to a seagull!
Q2: What moment in your show would your grandma absolutely hate (or absolutely love)?
Knowing my Greek grandmother, she’d absolutely love the burst of Greek Mediterranean energy—especially when I go after my ex with a yellow pillow, revenging my Big Fat Greek Wedding dreams. She’d yell “OPA!” and demand a front-row seat. Credits, please.
Q3: How will the audience remember you the morning after?
Oh! They’ll remember me covered in chocolate pudding—which, full disclosure, I didn’t make because I can’t cook—wild red hair flying as I channel unhinged revenge on my childhood French tutor. Chaos, catharsis, questionable dessert choices. Ooh là là, indeed.
Q4: If your show had a criminal record, what would it be for?
The main show character, EL, locked in a tiny (clean?) Alcatraz cell— bright orange suit, wild-eyed, screaming “I’m not a murderer, I’ve said that 100 times!” A psychological thriller with dark comedy? The show has a criminal record… for messing with your head in the best way.
