Lola Arias

(Buenos Aires, 1976)

Lola Arias is a writer, theatre and film director and performer. She is a multi-faceted artist whose work merges characters from different spheres (war veterans, ex-communists, migrant children, etc.) in theatre, literature, music, film and visual arts projects. Her works transit along the frontier between the fictional and the real. Her plays have been translated into over seven languages and have been presented at festivals and theatres worldwide, such as the Festival d’Avignon in France; the Theater Spektakel in Zurich; the We Are Here in Dublin; the Spielart Festival in Munich; the Alkantara Festival in Lisbon and Under the Radarin New York, as well as art spaces such as the Red Cat in Los Angeles, the Walker Art Centre in Minneapolis and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.

Last season her show Lengua madre could be seen at the Teatre Lliure in Barcelona.
