Festavia

Katherine Peruzzi ‘Katie’

S ince arriving at university Katie has lived a life of escapism. She is; smart, extrovert and self-aware. but her depression and pain has driven her to seek out environments which help her forget her haunting painful memories. The dancefloor allows her to go somewhere other than Earth. The nightclub is her domain in which she has total control. She never parts with money and men fall over themselves to buy her drinks. The nightclub is where she goes to be Katie and to leave Katherine behind. Katherine is riddled with grief from losing her mother and she’s enraged and belittled by her life before university. Life before university and after her mother’s death was dark and filled with hurt inflicted by opportunistic bullies. She is failing her last year at university and feels isolated and alone. With few barriers preventing her from partying, she partys more than not, Reality becomes distorted and she loses who she really is. The escape is not guaranteed, in fact it is becoming harder to find. The longer it takes for her to feel good the harder she works to escape. In her normal life she has lost confidence. She has no vision of her fuure. She prefers to live in the now and the future can wait or not arrive at all. Katie and Katherine are at a crossroads, an experience is needed to move them in a positive direction. The Quest in Festavia is her only chance; will she have the will and what it takes to succeed?
