John Vega

Writer • Director • Producer • Performer

John Vega is a multidisciplinary artist whose creative practice moves between theater, music, movement, and experimental performance. Drawn to the transformative power of storytelling, his work explores mythology, folklore, identity, memory, and the complexities of human experience.

As the creative force behind Fábula Obscura, John brings together his interests in theatrical storytelling, interdisciplinary collaboration, and artistic experimentation. His work includes Becoming Red, a theatrical reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood, alongside emerging projects that explore the intersections of personal history, cultural memory, and performance.

John’s artistic expression also takes shape through Lolo Hartwood, his burlesque-born performing alter ego—a hopeless romantic whose never-ending pursuit of love unfolds through music, cabaret, humor, and heartbreak.

Whether writing, directing, producing, or performing, John’s work is guided by a fascination with transformation: how stories evolve, how identities are constructed, and how performance allows us to discover unexpected dimensions of ourselves.
