Chela De Ferrari
Peruvian-born Chela De Ferrari founded the La Plaza theatre in Lima in 2003. Over 120 plays have been produced there in twenty years, including rereadings of classic works and contemporary creations. These plays ask key questions to help us better understand the contemporary world and human nature. In 2013, she created ‘Sala de Parto’, a programme designed to stimulate the emergence of new Peruvian theatre. As a director and playwright, she has focused in recent years on Peruvian plays and those by Shakespeare. In 2017, she was awarded the title of P.M.C. (Personality of Merit for Culture), marking her contribution to the development of culture in this country.
