Bàrbara Mestanza

After training in musical theatre, stage direction and dramaturgy at the Eòlia school, the Theatre Institute of Barcelona, and other centres abroad, she very soon began to work as an actor, first in theatre and subsequently in audiovisual works. Since then, she has performed in dozens of shows and fictional works for television, including Amar es para siempre (Antena 3) and Mercado Central (TVE). In 2013, she started to direct and write plays for her theatre company, The Mamzelles, which is also a music group. She has also continued her career as a director and playwright outside the group with such plays as La mujer más fea del mundo, Pocahontas o la verdadera historia de una traviesa, and Richard III and They Don’t Know about Us, some of which have been performed in theatres like Teatre Lliure, the Atrium de Barcelona, the Poliorama Theatre, and Sala Beckett, amongst others.
