Laia Ribera Cañénguez

Laia RiCa, born in El Salvador, studied Physical Theatre in Barcelona and Theatre Pedagogy at the Berlin University of the Arts, where she is currently completing her PhD. Her work moves between documentary and object theater, between performance, physical and visual theatre, with a strong reference to visual arts. In 2015, Laia moved to Germany from Central America. In the "in-between-ness" of different languages, theater genres and geographies, she seeks a utopian space to bring together her own and structural opposites, paradoxes and contradictions. In doing so, she is primarily concerned with feminist, decolonial and queer perspectives. In recent years, together with KMZ Kollektiv, Laia has produced the multiple award-winning production "Kaffee mit Zucker?" (2021) and the play "FÜNF EXPONATE" (2023) staged and performed. The KMZ Kollektiv group develops its own visual, biographical and documentary aesthetics. www.laiarica.com
