Lili/Darwin

This week on Curtain Call, we step into the intimate and poetic world of Lili/Darwin — a new solo performance written and performed by Darwin Del Fabro and directed by Meghan Finn. Premiering at The Tank in New York City as part of LimeFest, the piece weaves together the lives of 20th-century transgender pioneer Lili Elbe and Darwin herself, a Brazilian artist returning to the stage for the first time since her own gender transition. Through projection, voice, and lyrical storytelling, Lili/Darwin explores identity, memory, and the courageous act of becoming.

Tom speaks with Darwin and Meghan about the evolution of this deeply personal work, the emotional and artistic process behind its creation, and the responsibility of honoring a legacy while forging a new one. It’s a conversation about empathy, transformation, and the power of theatre to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
