Gabriella Maione
Gabriella Maione is French, born in Italy, intent on bringing to the American public French contemporary Theatre, which can transcend boundaries of prejudice, and misunderstanding in these troubled times. She has been instrumental in past productions such as her “Quartett” at the Brooklyn Academy of Music or her own play “Symptômes”, in preparation at Robert Wilson’s watermill Center, to offer French artistic contributions either from the author, director, or the designers. Gabriella Maione's directing of Heiner Müller's "Quartett" at Brooklyn Academy of Music brought strong reviews from the New York Times, among others, such as "... Maione's blatantly erotic, impressively acted and staged production of "Quartett" (A wildly free adaptation of 'Le Liaisons Dangereuses') ... The production's avant-garde elements rarely overwhelm the characterizations".

Gabriella Maione brings her years of experience as an actor as well as working side by side with top directors such as Luis Bunuel (Oscar winner “The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie”), Pier-Paolo Pasolini with whom she collaborated, Raymond Rouleau, Gerard Oury, Serge Moati and others to the stage. She is a graduate of the Sorbonne in Theatre. She is also a playwright. Her most recent play was staged in 2005 for a reading at the Opera Bastille, Paris and is scheduled to be directed by Robert Wilson.
