Gabriella Salvaterra, an Italian artist, after several initial experiences in theater and dance, joined the international company Teatro de los Sentidos in 1999, with which she worked regularly until 2020 across Europe, Latin America, the United States, Asia, and Australia.

In 2011, she co-directed the show “Cuando el río suena” with Enrique Vargas, director of Teatro de los Sentidos, produced by the Santiago a Mil Festival in Chile.

From 2012 to 2021, she taught in the postgraduate program “Sensory Language and the Poetics of Play” at the University of Girona, Spain.

She began creating and producing her own personal projects in Chile in 2013.
Her first directorial work was “dopo” (2015), a co-production with Vie Scena Contemporanea Festival, followed by:

“un attimo prima” (2017), co-production Da vicino nessuno è normale Festival

“sollievo” (2019), co-production Le Channel – Scene Nationale Calais

In 2020, she founded the collective Sense Specific Theatre, a group of artists participating in her creations.

Subsequent works include:

“succede” (2021), co-production Artisti Drama“tutto passa, tutto resta” (2021), co-production Artisti Drama, a sensory journey in nature

“nodo in gola” (2023), co-production Artisti Drama

“la ultima vez” (2024), co-production Artisti Drama

“battito” (2025), co-production Artisti Drama, a sensory journey in nature

Alongside her artistic activity, starting in 2016 she began training in Gestalt therapy, completing the full SAT program at Claudio Naranjo’s school. She then specialized in theater by attending the training course “Le vie del teatro” under the guidance of Juan Carlos Coraza and Alain Vigneau.

An actress, director, educator, craftsperson, and scenographer, Gabriella has always been interested in the points of contact between installation, imaginary space, and immersive theatrical experience. She continues to develop two parallel artistic paths: her work within theaters and unconventional spaces, and intimate immersive experiences outdoors in natural environments.

She lives and produces her works between Chile, Barcelona, and Italy.
