Irene Serrano (she/her)
Artist
I’m a Spanish performer, writer, and creator currently based in New York, where I was awarded a Fulbright Performing Arts Fellowship by the Spanish Ministry of Culture.
My work lives at the intersection of clown, physical theatre, and autobiographical storytelling. I create pieces that are playful, uncomfortable, and emotionally precise—inviting audiences not just to watch, but to participate and confront themselves.
Before stepping on stage, I spent over a decade behind the scenes as a producer and cultural programmer. That experience shaped my voice: I don’t create from theory—I create from lived tension, contradiction, and risk.
My current project, Perimenoparty, challenges dominant narratives around aging, femininity, and the medicalization of women’s bodies. It transforms what is often silenced into something visible, shared, and strangely joyful.
I firmly believe we can build a better world through laughter.
I’m interested in work that disrupts expectations, builds connection in unexpected ways, and refuses to ask for permission.
