Camila Vinatea’s "Serpent Woman" Unveils Peruvian Amazonian Heritage in New York

For Camila Vinatea, the journey to a New York stage began far from the theaters of Manhattan. It began in Iquitos, in the Peruvian Amazon, where she grew up in a place with few opportunities to encounter theater or the performing arts. Before there were stages, conservatories or formal acting classes in her life, there was simply a girl performing at home, discovering through acting a way to express herself and imagine another world.
