Producción y Gestión Cultural

Soy productora y gestora cultural con experiencia en producción internacional y en proyectos financiados con fondos públicos. He gestionado recursos de manera eficiente y trabajado como productora en terreno en Europa y América Latina.

Con un Máster en Gestión Cultural por la Universidad de Barcelona, he participado en importantes eventos como La Llotja de Fira Tàrrega y la coordinación de programadores internacionales del Festival Santiago a Mil en Chile. Entre 2016 y 2023 fui productora y encargada de difusión de la Compañía VAYA, y en 2019 organicé el Seminario Latinoamericano de Portés Acrobáticos en Valparaíso, Chile.

​

He gestionado proyectos financiados por FONDART (Chile) y DGArtes (Portugal). Desde 2020 soy directora artística y productora del Festival Emraizart, colaborando estrechamente con el Municipio de Lagos. También soy parte del cuerpo directivo de la Asociación Teatro Experimental de Lagos, participando en el desarrollo de actividades culturales orientadas a fortalecer el vínculo entre arte y comunidad.

Festival Emraizart

A festival that connects performing arts with nature, aimed at families and schools. Through art, it seeks to connect the sustainable development of cities with their surroundings. By bridging the urban and the rural, it invites reflection on our bond with the land and awakens the creative potential of each person, inspiring the community to become agents of comprehensive societal change.

​

Since 2020, in collaboration with the Teatro Experimental de Lagos, I have produced this festival in the Algarve, Portugal, taking on the roles of artistic director and producer.

Shows Currently Touring

My proposals explore different aesthetics and stage languages, with Physical Theatre as a common thread.

​

All of them stand out for their strong physical commitment and a visual language that integrates comedy and the poetry of movement.

​

My projects address themes that invite reflection, creating a deep connection with the audience through emotion and critical thinking.

Pandora

Together with Oren Schreiber, I co-created Duo Niu (2023), a Hand-to-Hand company specialising in circus-theatre shows aimed at family audiences. Their work stands out for its vintage aesthetic and a classical style in both performance and sound design.

​

The company merges Acrobatics, Physical Theatre, and Magic, working with humour and satire. With a multidisciplinary approach that prioritises visual storytelling, their work explores universal themes with creativity and sensitivity, reflecting on contemporary issues such as communication overload and the search for genuine connection in a hyperconnected world.

​

The show "Pandora" presents a comedic family adventure filled with acrobatics and illusion tricks. A family dinner is interrupted by a storm of improbable events that challenge the clichés of romantic relationships. The protagonists transform into superheroes to restore the lost balance.

vertical boom

"VAYA" is a Contemporary Circus company known for creating multidisciplinary shows where acrobatics, physical expression, and visual storytelling intertwine to tell moving and thought-provoking stories. Since its founding in 2016, I have participated as a co-creator and performer, contributing to the development of productions that stand out for their originality, humour, and technical precision.

​

Through a carefully crafted aesthetic and an in-depth exploration of human connections, VAYA has developed works recognised for their ability to address current themes. The company continues to pursue projects that combine physical risk and visual poetry to deliver contemporary circus performances that connect with and inspire audiences.

​

"Vertical Boom" is a quartet of acrobatic clowns who defy the laws of gravity through a variety of circus techniques: juggling, rola bola, Chinese pole, and group acrobatics. Inspired by human clumsiness, this troupe of clowns transforms absurdity into laughter, captivating both children and adults with their innocent humour and unusual skills.

PROJECT FEMEN

Femen is an artistic experience designed for teenage and adult audiences, combining performative and visual arts and presenting two complementary activities.

​

The first activity consists of three interactive installations: Diverse Perspectives, I, Monster, and Do I Feel What I Feel?. These installations seek audience participation, inviting attendees to interact with objects that challenge individual perceptions of identity.

​

The second activity is the presentation of the show Femen, a solo artistic performance of a poetic and provocative nature that questions the social constructs imposed on women, deconstructing the binary view of identity. With a fusion of theatre, circus, and magic, it explores with humour and sensitivity the search for a fluid and multidimensional self. The performance is inspired by Judith Butler's Theory of Performativity.

ABRAçO

In Abraço, the threads that animate the puppets become a metaphor for the invisible bonds that connect us. Through a child’s perspective, the performance addresses the cycle of life and approaches loss with delicacy, transforming sadness and longing into a poetic journey infused with magic, humor, and sensitivity. Abraço is a performance about the bonds that connect us to those we love and the invisible ties that remain alive through memory. Through the gaze and imagination of a child, the audience is invited into a sensitive, playful, and deeply human journey, where emotions transform and embrace one another, welcoming loss as part of the cycle of life. Along this path, friendship emerges as a network of support, helping to resolve conflicts and build healthy relationships grounded in care and empathy.

NÃO SE PODE, NÃO SE PODE

Two guard dogs spend the day patrolling a yard, pacing from one wall to the other, tails held high and noses in the air. There are very important rules to follow there. Only in this way can they ensure that no intruder appears. But then… what is a stray cat doing by the gate? It can only be an attack! Cats are dangerous—who knows what they bring in from outside. Unless they discover what lies beyond the yard… You can’t! You can’t!

In 2025, artists from Lagos, Ourém, and Ponte de Lima were invited to take part in the creation of two new Boca Aberta performances, developed from the same theme. The shows — Is There Room for One More? and You Can’t! You Can’t! — premiered and were first presented in the artists’ home cities before touring across Portugal. In 2026, these creations are presented in Lisbon for the first time and continue touring throughout the country.
