Moving fluidly between laughter and reckoning, vulnerability and invocation, Perra Puta Loca Bruja offers theatre as ritual: a living altar where voice becomes medicine, memory becomes movement, and the unseen is honored. This is not a confessional, it is a reclamation, resonant long after the final moment filled with laughter, connection, emotion and resonance across cultures.
Born in Peru to Argentine parents, raised in New York City, and now rooted in central Pennsylvania, Codorniu uses the stage as a ceremonial space for transformation, intertwining personal histories and stories from her mixed lineage and the land where they all met in Argentina, with some emigrating to the US. Each archetype becomes a doorway to an ancestor, revealing themes of survival, desire, defiance, intuition, and reclamation across generations.
Perra Puta Loca Bruja is a bold one-woman performance that blends storytelling, ritual, humor, and ancestral memory to reclaim words once used to silence and shame. Through four archetypal lenses: Perra, Puta, Loca, and Bruja, each connected to an ancestral presence, Vanessa Codorniu weaves personal narrative, cultural lineage, and embodied performance into a theatrical experience that is both intimate and incendiary.
