Evaluna Valdivieso Segura

Santiago, Chile

Evaluna Valdivieso Segura is a Chilean theater director, performer, educator, and activist working at the intersection of performing arts, environmental justice, and transdisciplinary research. She is the founder of Teatro La Crisis, a company focused on experimental theater and social transformation, and a member of Cia Remanente, a collective that centers memory, territory, and resistance through performance.

Her current initiative, Proyecto Andes, explores the environmental and territorial crises facing the Andes Mountains region. Through the production and touring of the play Proyecto Andes and the Antropo-escena Laboratory, Evaluna brings together science, activism, and the arts to dramatize the impact of extractivism, climate change, and colonial legacies. The project highlights how loss of land, health, and biodiversity are intertwined with the erosion of cultural identity and the rupture of human-nature relations.

As a theater director, Evaluna has developed widely acclaimed works such as Las Convocadas, Cuando se rompa el silencio, and Mónica 1984, which explore themes of justice, memory, and queer feminist resistance. Her projects have been presented at leading venues across Chile, including Teatro del Puente and Teatro a Mil. She has also collaborated with renowned artists such as Ana Luz Ormazábal, Manuela Infante, and Sebastián Lelio.

Evaluna is deeply committed to environmental education, creative mediation, and the development of new artistic languages grounded in social and ecological awareness. Her work reflects the power of theater not just to critique, but to imagine transformative futures from the Global South.
