Solene Remiot - Paola
By day, Solene Remiot is a marketer in the beauty industry—a career that has taken
her from the offices of Paris to the energy of New York. Off-duty, however, her heart has
always belonged to the theater. Her stage journey began in France as Helena in A Midsummer Night’s Dream (dir. Jules Jorda), an experience that turned a lifelong appetite for watching plays into a passion for performing them.

Remy Felicite) and join more recently Faustine Kooijmann ‘s project “Wait, What’s the Play Again?”; Playing Paola—a naive, hard-working assistant director dreaming of the spotlight—felt like a nod to her own appreciation for the 'behind-the-scenes' grind. She is happy to be back on stage, proving there is always room for a little drama outside of office hours.
