Aurora Perrineau Instagram – Well… this one hurts.
I find explaining how I’m feeling to be really difficult, but I’ll try.
When I started auditioning for this show, I knew it was special, mainly due to the fact that Charlie Covell’s scripts resonated with me in a way most things hadn’t. I knew all of these people, and I loved them all — every flaw, everything.
For one of the first times in my life, I have found myself really proud. I’m, of course, proud of everyone’s work and the care they gave to this project, because, let me tell you, they left everything on the floor. But I’ve also found myself proud of me, and that is something I’ve struggled with.
When I got cast, I couldn’t believe that someone SAW me. A girl who’s not only a minority but also a survivor of SA — and you’re telling me that someone thinks I could be one of the leads of a show, have agency, my own mission, and be desirable enough to be the love interest to not only one amazing human but two? I was worthy of that? Everything that happened from that point forward really changed my perspective.
As the journey continued, I started to learn about the absolutely amazing talent involved — as if Charlie wasn’t enough. Then I learned of our directors, Georgi and Runyararo. It continued with our incredible cast; there are far too many to mention, but I have to acknowledge the three who have become lifelong friends, family, and lifelines while we drifted through Spain for months: Misia, Nabhaan, and Killian.
Our beautiful HMU department, wardrobe department, Sister, our production team, and our entire crew — every single person involved was a heavy hitter. And there I was, sitting and wondering how? Why me? And the answer I often got back was: Why not you?
Everyone was brilliant and uniquely themselves. Every performance surprised and excited me. I can’t believe I got to do this with all of you. We made something weird, dark, hilarious, deranged, and absolutely tragic — something entirely human.
THIS is a feeling I plan to take with me.
Thanks for letting me be your Riddy. I had the time of my life. ⚡️ | Posted on 08/Oct/2024 19:48:14
