HYENA! is an uncompromising examination of intimacy, vulnerability and sexuality that challenges the audience to figuratively and literally unlock the beast.
Provocative and devilish, writer and performer Romana Isabella flirts with the dichotomy of public and private self as she throws the middle finger up to society’s rigid framework of femininity.
