Photo by Daniel Rosales Acadia Barrengos (she/her) is a New York based director whose work excavates lost histories and engages audiences viscerally. In addition to NYC, her work has been produced in Washington, D.C., Chicago, San Francisco, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and New Jersey.
Inspired by the study of epigenetics, Acadia is driven by stories that wrestle with inheritance and she prioritizes surprise, ensemble, and rhythm in her work. The theatre she engages walks the line of hope and doubt, and investigates the space between the pedestrian and spectral, the bloody and the magical.
