“My name is Isabel Alvarellos Vivanco. I was born during the afternoon siesta on a Sunday, March 13th, 1988, in Cordoba, Argentina. My passion for languages led me to study French philology, and at the same time, my desire to tell stories made me an actress. This intersection has led me to write my personal story, to tell another story, to shed light on memories and focus on the sensitive. Starting from the autofiction code, my research is based on confession and play. I play with the body and the materiality of the scene. In this work that I am giving birth to, I write, act, and direct my own and collective work simultaneously. I am interested in how intimacy questions us because, after all, life and art intersect. The intersections of languages, people, disciplines, and obsessions create in this piece a possible world, an intimate fiction, a scenic writing. From and for the body, my artistic practice is, has been, and I bet it will continue to be the process of multiple encounters with word dynamics and careful listening to the fragility of the bomb.
