Giuliana Kiersz (1991, Buenos Aires) is a feminist author and artist currently based in Berlin. Her methods explore our relationship with language, reflecting within specific contexts to create fantasies that move the social and political horizon. She creates interventions through literature, performance and visual arts, practicing writing as a collective act to expand the political dimension of words. Her play “El fin” (The end) won first place in the X German Rozenmacher Prize; “Isabel I” received third prize in the National Theatre Institute’s 15th National Dramaturgy Competition; and ”B”, "502" and "The day she said that she had killed the dog I took the car" were granted with Maison Antoine Vitez translation awards. Her work has been supported by many international institutions including Akademie Schloss Solitude, Maxim Gorki Theater, Senatsverwaltung für Kultur und Europa, London’s Royal Court Theatre, the National Institute of Scenic Arts in Uruguay (INAE), the Ministry of Culture of Argentina, the International Literature Festival of Buenos Aires, the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), among others. Her texts have been translated into English, German, French, Portuguese and Tsosil and published by Rara Avis Editorial, Libros del Rojas, Fondo Editorial ENSAD, Editorial INTeatro, Espejo Somos, Libros Drama and Solitude Editions / Archive Books. At the moment she is working on a lecture performance for Maxim Gorki Theater and is part of Young Woman Opera Makers, a training program at the Académie du Festival d'Aix led by Katie Mitchell.
