\u00a0<\/p>

I am a director, playwright and performing artist. My work sits at the intersection of body, representation and art history, and takes shape in performance, live-art and writing projects. I have developed and presented my work in contexts such as the GREC Festival in Barcelona, the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (MNAC), the Museu Mar\u00e8s in Barcelona, the TNT Festival in Terrassa, the Antic Teatre and the Sism\u00f2graf Festival in Olot, among others.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/h2>

I trained<\/b> as an art historian, specialising in the history of the performing arts, at the UB (Barcelona) and at La Sapienza (Rome), and later as a director and playwright at the Institut del Teatre (Barcelona and Vic). I also completed two postgraduate courses: Production and Management of Shows and Cultural Events at IL3 (UB) and Theatre and Education at the Institut del Teatre in Vic.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/h2>
\u00a0<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>

My practice<\/b> as a performance-maker<\/b> sits at the intersection of art history, the body and contemporary performance. My work begins with a re-examination of bodily imaginaries and stereotypes, from their earliest artistic representations to the present day, and takes shape in pieces with a strong visual, compositional and choreographic component.<\/p>

This line includes Unheimlich<\/u>, a piece supported by the Kin\u00e8tic programme of CC Parc Sandaru and by DespertaLab at Nau Ivanow and Sala Atrium, presented at Sala Atrium, at the TNT Festival 2019 and at Casa Elizalde;\u00a0<\/p>

Aut\u00f2noma<\/u>, premiered at Antic Teatre and at Can Felipa (2017);\u00a0<\/p>

Ellas comen<\/u>, developed during a residency at Teatropuerto (La Serena, Chile) as part of Nau Ivanow; and\u00a0Corpus<\/u>, a performative exhibition conceived for museums and adapted to each collection.\u00a0Corpus has been presented at the Museu Mar\u00e8s and at the MNAC as part of the Grec festival in 2022 and 2023, and at the Museu de la Garrotxa in Olot as part of Sism\u00f2graf 2024.\u00a0<\/p>

My most recent piece is Oasi<\/u>, presented at the Grec Festival 2025 in co-production between the festival, the Centre d’Arts Santa M\u00f2nica and the Centre de les arts lliures de Barcelona.\u00a0<\/p>

\u00a0<\/h2>
\u00a0<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>

I have worked as dramaturg <\/b>on the productions Macho Man<\/u> (Temporada Alta Festival, Teatros del Canal, GREC Festival Barcelona), Un dia de Novembre deixo rastres de bellesa sobre blanc<\/u> (Festival Els Cl\u00e0ssics + MNAC),\u00a0Aquest pa\u00eds no descobert que no deixa tornar de les seves fronteres cap dels seus viatgers<\/u>\u00a0(Temporada Alta Festival), and Of\u00e8lia (Panic Attack)<\/u>, (Temporada Alta Festival, GREC Festival Barcelona) by \u00c0lex Rigola.<\/p>

I have also worked as dramaturg on No puc arrencar-me el cap<\/u> by Alba Pujol, presented at Escenes 2021 at L’Auditori de Barcelona; on Pop<\/u> by Laura Alcal\u00e0, with the dance company La S\u00fabita; as dramaturg and outside eye on Morir lo hace todo el mundo<\/u>\u00a0by Jos\u00e9 y sus Hermanas (Teatre Lliure, GREC Festival Barcelona), on FOC I LLOC<\/u> by Emma Riba (Fira T\u00e0rrega), as dramaturg\u00a0<\/strong>on Els Objectes flotants<\/u>, by La Conquesta del Pol Sud (Teatre Akad\u00e8mia) and on NATAL<\/u> by Animal Religion (Barcelona City Council, Christmas Festival).<\/p>

\u00a0<\/h2>


<\/div>

I was producer and manager<\/b> of \u00c0lex Rigola<\/u>‘s company for five years, between 2018 and 2023, combining this work with my dramaturgical and performance practice. Since 2023, I have produced for the documentary theatre company La Conquesta del Pol Sud<\/u>.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/h2>


<\/div>

I have worked as assistant director<\/b> to Lali \u00c1lvarez on Ragazzo<\/u> and\u00a0Barcelona, contra la paret<\/u>, presented at Nau Ivanow, Teatre Lliure, Fira T\u00e0rrega and Antic Teatre. I have also worked with Evelyn Ar\u00e9valo on La suma i la resta<\/u> (Sala F\u00e8nix).<\/p>

\u00a0<\/h2>


<\/div>

Outside of my performance practice<\/b>, I have coordinated and led nudist guided tours<\/u> of the Museu Arqueol\u00f2gic de Barcelona, held at the start of the 23\/24 season. I have also curated the performance strand of the contemporary art festival EX ABRUPTO<\/u> in Moi\u00e0.\u00a0<\/p>

I have also written<\/b> commissioned articles and texts for various projects, including Sota terra, a la recerca d’un temps tel\u00b7l\u00faric, d’un espai at\u00e0vic<\/u>, for the Xarxa Transversal, based on the show Sota terra by Moon Ribas and Quim Gir\u00f3n, and Visita a els bronzes de Riace: connectar amb la hist\u00f2ria a trav\u00e9s del propi cos<\/u>, for the magazine of the Club Naturista de Catalunya.<\/p>
