This play got a lot of attention when it was put on at that Festival by her El Silencio Company, and joined the "Itinerarte" tour of Spain (with performances in San Sebastián, Santander and Segovia), then toured Europe and Brazil (Festival Porto Alegre em Scena); it was then included in the programme for the Festival el Quinto Argentino de Teatro de la ville de Santa Fe.

El Silencio. The theatre-company El Silencio was formed in 2006 when its members, Pilar Gamboa, Esteban Bigliardi and Esteban Lamothe came together to rehearse the play by Romina Paula, Algo de ruido hace, which she also directed.

They had already got to know each other in the acting workshops of Alejandro Catalán, where they had worked together on various projects in the context of these workshops. They rehearsed Algo de ruido hace all through the year 2006 and the play was performed at the Espacio Callejón on 21 February 2007.

The production run at this independent theatre lasted for two years, finishing up in December 2008. In 2007, the play was selected for the national programme of the 6th Festival Internacional de Teatro de Buenos Aires. In July 2008, the Company went on an "Itinerarte" tour in Spain (to San Sebastián, Santander and Segovia).

In September of the same year, the play was put on in Brazil, in the Festival Porto Alegre em Scena, and again in November at the Festival de Teatro de la Ciudad de Santa Fe. The actors and the director were nominated jointly for the Teatro del Mundo Prize for their work in Algo de ruido hace, and in 2007 Romina Paula was awarded the "S" Prize for writing and producing a new play.

In 2008, Algo de ruido hace was included in the programme "Formación de Espectadores", set up by Ana Durán. In May 2009, the company began rehearsing another play written by Romina Paula, El tiempo todo entero, and Susana Pampín joined the Company. In February 2010 the El Silencio Company put on
El tiempo todo entero at l’Espacio Callejón. This play is a reworking of The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams.

Fauna is Romina Paula’s latest play. It is premiered in May 2013 at El Cultural San Martín, in Buenos Aires; and is on tour in Europe in November and December 2013.
