Maria Sánchez

Nacida en Barcelona, se formó musicalmente a una edad temprana y de manera autodidacta. Graduada en Historia del Arte (Universitat de Barcelona) y posteriormente formada en el máster Música como Arte Interdisciplinar (Universitat de Barcelona / ESMUC / Universitat Rovira i Virgili), se especializó en el estudio y creación de nuevos lenguajes escénicos y musicales. Ha llevado a cabo la creación de proyectos dramatúrgicos en torno a la reformulación del mito clásico en las artes escénicas contemporáneas, eje vertebral de sus estudios. En la actualidad, continúa proyectando nuevos discursos y planteamientos sobre la supervivencia del mito en lo social y lo artístico.
