Florencia Werchowsky is a writer, journalist, and stage director who approaches performance from a relational perspective, creating works specifically for the people who will perform them. Trained as a ballet dancer at the Teatro Colón’s Instituto Superior de Arte, she often uses classical vocabulary to address urgent contemporary issues.
Her works have been presented at the Buenos Aires International Festival (FIBA), the Teatro Colón Experimental Center, the Nueva Ópera Festival, the Générateur de Ressources et d’Activités Musicales Exploratoires in Lyon, and the Hessel Museum at Bard College in New York, among other venues.
As a writer, she has published the novels El telo de papá (No-Tell Motel, 2013) and Las bailarinas no hablan (Ballerinas Don’t Speak, 2017), both with Penguin Random House.
As a journalist, she has written for the newspaper Clarín, the magazine Anfibia, and elDiarioAR, among others.
In 2024, she received the María Guerrero Award for directing her play Rehearsal for the End of the World.
