KMZ KOLLEKTIV
KMZ Kollektiv is a Berlin-based theater collective founded by Laia RiCa, Antonio Cerezo, Yahima Piedra Córdova, and Daniela del Pomar. Working together since 2021 and formally established in 2023, the group develops interdisciplinary productions shaped by material theatre, performance, and autobiographical research.
Each creation begins with the exploration of a specific material, treated as a protagonist and interwoven with biographical and documentary elements, live music, and real-time visuals. Their works have received multiple awards and continue to be presented at festivals and theaters internationally.
