My name is Maria Cambil and I am an artist… I do theatre… Well, I do many things: I work as an actress, playwright, director, assistant director, producer, educator… I studied Performing Arts at the ERAM University School and before dedicating myself to theatre, I have worked as an educator specialized in theatre teaching and in theatre as a tool for social transformation.
