Carolina Bianchi

Carolina Bianchi is a writer, theatre director, and performer born in Porto Alegre, Brazil, and based in Europe since 2020. Her work emerges from a perspective of crisis, creating bold confabulations about sexual violence and the history of art. Her staging blends diverse references from literature and painting, centering on violence through text and bodies that incarnate sensorial and performative gestures. She was awarded the Silver Lion of Biennale di Danza di Venezia in 2025.
