Marina Otero was born in Buenos Aires in 1984 and currently lives in Madrid.

 

She is a director, performer and author. She created the project Recordar para vivir, conceived as the construction of an infinite work based on her own life.

Her practice consists of putting her body at risk in the service of storytelling until the day she dies. Drawing on her own obsessions—love, time, inequality and violence—she explores these themes at the boundary between reality and fiction, understanding each work as a political act.

 

Andrea, Recordar 30 años para vivir 65 minutos, Fuck me, Love me, Kill me and Ayoub are part of this constantly evolving project, which will end on the day of her death.

Her works have toured internationally and have been presented in Germany, Spain, Italy, France, Switzerland, Portugal, Singapore, Denmark, Belgium, Austria, Greece, Poland, the Netherlands, Sarajevo, Peru, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, Australia and Argentina, among other countries.

 

With Fuck me, she received the ZKB Audience Award at Zurich’s Theater Spektakel in 2021. In 2026, she received both the jury’s Best Performance Award and the audience’s Best Performance Award at the Kontrapunkt Festival in Szczecin, Poland. With Recordar 30 años para vivir 65 minutos, she won the award for Best Direction in Dance at the 2016 Buenos Aires Biennial of Young Art. With Kill me, she received the top award for Best Choreographic Work of the 2024–2025 French season, the Prix de la Critique, awarded by the French Association of Theatre, Music and Dance Critics.

 

As a teacher, she leads creative workshops and seminars. Her teaching practice has taken her to countries around the world.
