Malena Urrutia

Playwright Director Actor

Malena (she/her)
I'm a Uruguayan currently based in London. I'm a playwright, actor and director looking for ways to grow as a creator and nurish from the vibrant culture of this city. I'm mostly interested in theatre that builds symbols and atmospheres and uses language as a means for poetry.
