I was a journalist first. I covered the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in Jerusalem for three years and European Union affairs in Brussels for four. Those were years of intense learning and of witnessing a pain that couldn't be fully captured in my news reports. Life moved very fast and very seriously during those years as a newspaper editor. So much so, that the press felt too small to tell the stories. I knew I would never stop writing, but I needed to delve deeper into the core of the human experience. I needed substance, emotion, aesthetics, humor, fiction: I needed art.

 


In that thirst to unite my passion for dance and my passion for crafting stories, theater emerged. It never crossed my mind to be an actress, not even during the three years I studied theater at the Laboratory of Dramatic Body Expression in Barcelona. My quest is about bringing us together around a fire that leaves no one indifferent. This is how I have experienced each of the 60 performances I gave of my show, Mujer Mar (Woman of the Sea), each of my Poetic Walks, each of the characters that have required months of research, and each of the workshops I have led.

I unconsciously fall into hybrid formats. I like to listen to where the story wants to be told, and it's not always in a theater or a hall , so I use what they call unconventional space, even though for me it's the most normal thing in the world, for example, inviting the public to meet me in my own bed to share a poem.
