MY HISTORY
On stage and beyond
I was born one spring in the Sant Antoni district of Barcelona, near the Paral·lel. When I'm sick, my grandmother, who had performed at El Molino, sang me couplets and zarzuelas, encouraging me to do duets with her. This small and beautiful memory leaves a mark on me that pushes me, little by little, towards the world of show business.
As a young woman I work with children and discover that I like to teach. I realise that I don't want to lose touch with these imaginative beings full of imagination, and I connect the two passions of my life: theatre and teaching.
Later I do research on emotion management using puppets and I have the privilege of meeting great educators and sharing our experiences. I feel lucky because at the same time I continue to be an actress, magician, puppeteer and clowncreating shows inspired by my imagination. Both professional loves nourish each other.
Being restless by nature, I collaborate with television, artists and big companies, discovering a different way of working. Not everyone does everything, not everyone knows everything! it gives me something to think about and around the 90's I incorporate specialized professionals in the company and we are the first small format group for all audiences that works with theater experts.
I like things that give you light, even if the day is cloudy. For me magic is one of them. After a performance I have a thought that will change part of my destiny, “Women need a stronger voice in the world of often sexist magic”, and I dare to mount a unique event in the world: DAMA, International Festival of Magical Ladies.
Tot i la meva sordesa creixent, m’adapto a la situació, faig un pas endavant i aprenc la llengua de signes per explicar contes i incorporar-los en els meus espectacles. A la vegada engego un nou projecte amb ballarins que gaudeixo infinit: la creació i direcció d’un nou llenguatge de teatre visual.
M’aboco a produir espectacles sense paraules que han obtingut diversos premis. Em satisfà escriure els guions de les obres i frueixo redactant articles d’opinió i assajos sobre educació: per mi, escriure és un plaer. Ara arriba un nou repte: la meva primera novel·la, “On ningú mira”.
Thank you grandmother for your medicine that healed my soul and that over the years has led me to be who I am: a brave woman and artist like you.
Now I know my creative mind will never stop flowing.
