The Warrior Nun's Mother Superion, Sylvia De Fanti, is in the House!

The Netflix series "Warrior Nun" is a powerhouse tour-d-force of woman empowerment while being a provacateur of deeply traditional religious mythologies. "After waking up in a morgue, an orphaned teen discovers she now possesses superpowers as the chosen Halo-Bearer for a secret sect of demon-hunting nuns." The "demon-hunting nuns" have a foundational and guiding mother figure, aptly named Mother Superion, played by acclaimed actress Sylvia De Fanti. Sylvia is our guest today.

The ground-breaking series is highly regarded by critics, and has established a deeply loyal following who call themselves Nunkind or Halo Bearers (we will explain on the show).  The second season scored 100% from critics and 99% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, a record high for a Netflix original series. When Netflix did not order a third season, a movement has exploded.  #SaveWarriorNun trended immediately following the news (it has been tweeted more than 5 million times). More than 107,000 people have signed an online petition to renew the show for a third season.

Called "one to watch" by People Magazine, Sylvia has appeared on the series Empire and Medici and starred for a season on Itally's longest running series Incantesmo.

Sylvia is a pioneer in both theater and human rights. She has co-founded cultural center Angelo Mai , theater company Bluemotion, and Teatro Valle Occupato, and organization the New York Times called "a maverick institution established to empower Italy's workers in the fields of art, entertainment and culture."
