We conjure into existence thought provoking productions dealing with contemporary narratives, aimed at awakening empathy and ethical consciousness in a wide range of audiences and viewers. Daniela believes in the transformative power of the arts, in creating experiences that endure in the collective imagination and promote a sense of belonging. Fearless about experimentation, she regularly collaborates with a wide range of established and up and coming artists, filmmakers and scientists from different fields.

Customer Reviews
Art is essential
Great interview. It is triggering to hear that art is not essential and yet people turn to art during these difficult times, whether it is listening to music, reading a book, watching a film or so many other avenues of escape. If anything, there may be a silver lining through this whole mess by the artists being able to create new material during this down time.
