♥ 𝗩𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗮 𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗮 ♥ actress / performance artist / activist. Born in Mexico City, Luna obtained her graduate degree in Acting from the Centro Universitario de Teatro (CUT – UNAM), and La Casa del Teatro. Her work activates the relationship between theatre, performance art and community engagement.

She has performed and taught workshops throughout Latin America and Europe, as well as in Rwanda, Egypt, India, New Zealand, Japan, Canada and USA. While primarily working as a solo performer, she is also an associate artist of the San Francisco-based performance collectives La Pocha Nostra and Secos & Mojados.
