Borderless Thalia: A Multilingual, Pandemic Comic Collection was
born out of a need to use comedy as a tool to cope with, at the
time, the vast unknown of COVID-19 and to show how, through writing
in English as well as in translation, we can be together, we can
laugh, and we can show solidarity, thus moving forward. There is
the famous Phoenix myth, the bird that manages to get reborn out
form its own ashes, and afterwards stay indestructible. In a
similar vein, yet in a much more refined gesture, the female
playwrights selected for this volume proved that writing remains a
therapeutical method, and a way to connect with one another and
face any difficulty that may appear insurmountable in the moment.
It is women of all kinds who carry the weight of the world, and not
Atlas, and yet, these women teach us that we need to make time to
see what is inside and around us. This collection includes the
following playwrights: Christine Benvenuto, Barbara Blatner, Sarah
Congress, Connie Dinkler, Selma Dragos, Tjasa Ferme, Catalina
Florina Florescu, Avery Grace, Jinna Kim, Elena Naskova, Joyce
Newman Scott, Nella Ohayon, Cindi Sansone-Braff, Ellis Stump,
Laurie Tanner, and Otilia Vieru-Baraboi. Dr. Catalina Florina
Florescu holds a PhD in Medical humanities from Purdue University,
teaches at Pace University in New York, curates the new play
festival at Jersey City Theater Center, and she is a mother of a
beautiful teen.
