Zoe De Barros Carvalho E Morris
Theatre director Theatre makerI am an Anglo-Brazilian theatre director and facilitator based in London. I grew up making theatre in São Paulo and my focus now lies in creating work that deconstructs and thinks critically about our world.
Most recently I directed Crash and Burn by William Leckie at the Edinburgh Fringe 2023 (shortlisted for two Scottish Theatre Awards) and have been a member of the Almeida Young Producers (2023-2024) and Old Vic Theatre Makers Company (2022-2023)
Between 2022-2023 I adapted and directed Euripides’ Electra at the Bloomsbury Theatre and was later awarded a bursary to work with director Marco Martinelli (Teatro delle Albe) and Professor Giovanna Di Martino at the University of Parma, on ‘Performing Aristophanes’.
I work part time in schools and with universities and am really passionate about participatory projects, particularly working with young people!
