Carolina Bianchi

Carolina Bianchi is a Brazilian theatre-maker, performer and writer based in Amsterdam. She graduated in 2022 from the master’s programme at DAS Theatre (Academy of Theatre and Dance). Her work takes place between theatre and performance, inextricably binding together theory and practice. Her productions depart from a crisis perspective and address issues of gender, sexual violence and art history – sometimes on the basis of personal and/or historical events.

For her sensual, outspoken and uncompromising productions, Carolina makes use of a combination of references from literature, news, film and painting, and is always looking for an ongoing confrontation with everything that seems to be an absolute truth. In her productions, she translates complex social and political issues into highly accessible material that appeals directly to a wide audience at both physical and intuitive levels. 

The Brazilian maker is a member of the collective CARA DE CAVALO ('Horse's face) from São Paulo, with whom she has created works including: O Tremor Magnífico ('The magnificent tremor') – 2020, LOBO ('wolf') – 2018, the open-air production Quiero hacer el amor ('I want to make love') – 2017 and the lecture performance Mata-me de Prazer ('kill me with pleasure).
