I am a Multidisciplinary Theater Artist, working across playwriting, directing, scenic design and creative strategy. I am originally from Brazil, where physical resources, financial support and cultural initiatives are suppressed, I've worked to democratize art-making and break the myth that art is a hermetic, unbreakable conception. As a female immigrant artist from a developing, colonized country, I learned how to work with available resources. What has set me apart is my deeply rooted creativity, pragmatism, vision and solution-making, allowing me to mount lavish and critically acclaimed projects that have transformed artists and audiences alike. 

 

My artistic interests surround a desire to connect individuals and create artistic experiences which spread social knowledge, turning those experiences into uplifting, community-centric learning opportunities. My work has become even more prescient during this pandemic recovery, when the need for human connection is intensely palpable. 

 

My artistic goal is to continue developing a Theatre-making practice that transcends illustrative story-telling, using Theatre as a voice for marginalized and oppressed communities. By using Theater as a tool of socio-political excavation and evolution, I seek to question invisible oppressive systems, that communities most disadvantaged and historically excluded from the theatre may still not be aware of. 

 

As a Multidisciplinary Artist, I am developing a sustainable production approach, day by day, aggressively targeting the use of upcycled goods and materials, that may have otherwise been disposed of as trash. Through my work, I demonstrate how recycled materials can become extremely valuable building elements: from the moment those goods are collected, how to treat them with care, imagination and creativity to actively transform them into meaningful artistic experience. 

 

In my artistic point of view, the act of researching, finding and transforming discarded everyday materials into works of art provokes an intrinsic connection between people. By identifying and creating new possibilities using some of our world’s rampant waste, we are able to forge connections between people, question our preconceived notions of art making, dismantle antiquated belief-systems and elicit a sense of radical unity.
