Rita Pinheiro

Rita Pinheiro. Portugal. Master in Performing Arts, Interpretation and Artistic Direction from ESMAE. I have a degree in Marketing Management and completed the Performing Arts Management and Production Course.
I Started in the world of theater in 2000, at Balleteatro. Since my debut, I have participated in numerous shows, including the performance Xarxa 25, by La Fura del Baus, at the Imaginarius festival and the play Os Últimos dias da Humanidade, directed by Nuno Carinhas and Nuno M. Cardoso.
In cinema, I have participated in several projects, namely A Imitação, by Saguenail, Dois Mil Pés, by Bruno Nacarato and André Sanjurio; Porto by Gabe Klinger, Aquarium, by Joana Correia Pinto, Zoom in - Pequenas Maldições entre Amigos, by José Pedro Lopes and 13H, by José Paulo Santos.
In 2018, I made my first co-creation of the show Dedos Curiosos, dedicated to children. The following year, I debuted in script writing with the films 13H and Ciclo.
In 2021, following my own convictions, I wrote, staged and performed the Camaleoa monologue. An original show, the result of a long investigation, presented for the first time at the Helena Sá e Costa Theater, in Porto.
I integrate several musical projects as a singer, being the Rita Light project the one I dedicate to the most. I work in voiceovers, advertising and writes regularly. I´m a drama teacher.
Persistent in my beliefs and an activist for social inequalities, I find in art a political voice that I use to echo those who live on the sidelines.
