Diego Bragà (she/they) is a technical and intuitive trans non-binary Luso-Brazilian artist-theatre-maker, filmmaker, composer and dramaturg – born in Belo Horizonte (BR) and based in Lisbon (PT). Diego is currently one of the emerging artists selected for Common Stories - Common LAB - to explore the shifting notions of diversity in a changing European society. In 2021, through an autobiographical film, she received the fellowship for young filmmakers from the Sundance Institute and her film “Think About The Beautiful Future Ahead” and can be seen in the Op-Docs of The New York Times. As theatre-maker she got five awards having received the Culture award from the Ministry of Culture during Dilma Rousseff's government as one of the representatives of young contemporary Brazilian artist. In Brazil she founded a queer platform called MADAME TEATRO and worked as director assistant for Grupo Galpão. In Europe, as an actress, she worked with directors and companies such as Tiago Rodrigues, Jérôme Bel, Susan Worsfold and Mickael de Oliveira. As singer and composer, she has two avant-pop EPs: “SUPERPUTA SPIRITUAL” (2023): about her spiritual, sensual and chaotic gender transition; and “Geography of Love” (2022): songs to honor her gay ancestry and victims of AIDS. The EPs are available on almost all digital music platforms.
