About Me

INTRODUCTION
ABOUT ME

A Practice Rooted in Story, Curiosity & Collaboration.

I’m Marteena Mendelssohn, a theatre director and writer working in the space where performance, culture, and imagination meet.


My practice stretches across producing, directing, fiction writing, and collaborative creation, shaped by my years in Paris and my work with VIVRE Performing Arts and Spin Cycle Theatre Company.

At the center of everything is a simple question:
What can theatre do — and who can it reach — when we remove its traditional boundaries?
