Sònia Masuda is an actress, playwright and director who has worked in film, television and theatre. Her first short film as a screenwriter, El tacte suau, was selected in 2024 for the Acció Curts by Dones Visuals. As an actress, she has worked for the BBC in the series Bitesize, for Disney Channel in the series Coco & Lana: El diario, and for Betevé in Otro cuento más. In cinema, she has appeared in films such as Teoria dels cossos by JR Armadàs and Framed by Marc Martínez Jordán. In 2018, she won the Oriana Award for Best Actress for the short film Tribe by Sergi Merchan.

She has written and directed the plays THIS IS NOT HERE (Re-Imagine Yoko Ono), which premièred at Sala Fènix, and the monologue El Silenci de la Fera, which opened the Furiasia festival, the first festival for Asian-descendant artists in Barcelona, organised by Catàrsia and held at the CCCB. Both works, with anti-racist and feminist themes, focus on the realities of Asian-descendant people, leading her to give several talks to raise awareness of these issues.

Project

At Faberllull, she will be writing the script for Dues dones. It is the story of Iris, a thirty-year-old woman who arrives at a rural house and meets another guest, Alicia, a sixty-year-old woman there to reflect and make an important life decision. What is a chance encounter with a stranger for Alicia is a sought meeting for Iris. She hides a secret that could put them in conflict, but over six days, a bond of complicity and admiration develops between them.
