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 Instituto Superior de Arte of the Teatro Colón, she often uses classical vocabularies to address urgent contemporary issues.
Her works have been presented at the Buenos Aires International Festival (FIBA), the Experimental Center of the Teatro Colón, the Nueva Ópera Festival, the Générateur de Ressource 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 many others.
In 2024, she won the María Guerrero Award for directing her play Rehearsal for the End of the World.
