About Cecilia!

Cecilia is a New York based interdisciplinary artist working across acting, directing and producing whose work unfolds at the intersection of theater, performance, and visual arts.

She is the Co- Founder and Producing Artistic Director of Cambalache Theatre Company, where she develops and directs new and reimagined works in New York. Her productions have been presented at La MaMa Galleria, Teatro Círculo NYC, and the New York Fringe Festival – Under St. Marks. Her original play “Away” premiered in The New York Theater Festival 2025 with subsequent runs in New York and Connecticut.

Trained in Argentina and the United States, her craft is shaped by her experience within the theatrical landscapes of Buenos Aires and New York. Her practice engages the body as both medium and site of inquiry, examining how presence, identity, and transformation emerge through gesture, voice, and spatial tension. Drawing from theatrical structures and visual minimalism, Cecilia constructs works that operate as thresholds—spaces where the visible and the invisible, the intimate and the collective, converge into storytelling.

She has also ventured into filmmaking, working as a producer, assistant director, and script supervisor, and continues to seek out new opportunities to explore stories on screen.

Artist Statement
My work begins with presence—what it means to inhabit a body, a space, a moment. I am interested in the subtle states of transformation that occur when action is reduced and attention is heightened. Through performance, theatrical language, and visual elements, I explore identity not as something fixed, but as something constantly unfolding.

Minimalism is essential to my process; by stripping away excess, I create room for tension, vulnerability, and resonance to emerge. I am drawn to the space between what is seen and what is sensed, where meaning remains open and fluid.

Each work functions as an invitation—to pause, to witness, and to enter a shared field of perception where the personal and the collective intersect.
