MY BIOGRAPHY ( Fabiana Costa)

I started to narrate stories about 20 years ago, when I moved from Italy to live for a long period in a small town in South America , one of those hot sunny places, where nothing happens. I had the beauty of 60 cousins, a rainbow colored white kids with black eyes, dark eyes clear, smooth hair, curly and, crisp. I was young and tinkered much nostalgic of my country and my family. Spent all day surrounded by these kids…''Aunt faby, Aunt faby, tell us something about Italy . And what really happen at the St Peter's Cathedral and the Vatican , the Coliseum and the Eiffel Tower …. Venice and its gondolas?

And in the silence of the night is constituted increasingly, visions of things large and small, flights of dragons and enormous battles between the windows of the cathedrals, narrate of a great wizard that appeared and solved everything with a magic. Everything was started as a game and I absorbed as a river in full, eyes and hearts of children is enormous with the magic of words. The time remained suspended between my memories and recreate together in spirits and the great waterfalls, birds colored by the tropics.

There was a moment in which story took me by the hand and I said…''now I want to be a poem…''

And from that moment I toured and narrated for a living, breathing, to remind everyone that we live, to laugh, then, when the magic is going to end, I recall a phrase from my old granny…

One story is finished, now I go away…

Another I will narrate, but do not know when..

But one thing I will know for sure, that you will listen laughing…

“And will die singing”…
