About me

View profile
I’m Roseane dos Reis – a Brazilian theatre maker, actress, director, and pedagogue with roots in Italy, and I’ve called Bergen home since 2005. My artistic journey began long before that, deeply grounded in physical theatre. I trained in the Lecoq technique at Helikos Scuola in Italy, and since 1999, I’ve worked professionally as an actress, including with iconic Brazilian directors like José Celso Martinez Corrêa and Antunes Filho.

Here in Norway, I’ve been active in the theatre scene as both performer and creator. Since 2011, I’ve also been a hospital clown and mentor with Sykehusklovnene, where I’m responsible for the artistic development of actors in Western Norway. Clowning is more than performance to me—it’s a deep, human connection, especially in vulnerable spaces.

I co-founded Lil’ Gorilla Produksjoner, where I serve as artistic leader. There, I develop interactive performances that blend physical expression, sensory experiences, and unconventional performance spaces. I’m especially drawn to themes like multiculturalism, feminism, and identity—threads that run through both my life and my art. My work is inspired by immersive theatre, and I’ve taken part in international trainings, including with The Third Rail Projects in New York.

I also hold a BA in Literature and Languages from the University of São Paulo and a Master’s in Drama Pedagogy and Applied Theatre from HVL in Norway. I’ve always had a love for poetry and dramaturgy, and I’m now stepping into writing my own plays—an important evolution in expressing my artistic voice.

My theatre lives at the intersection of body, story, and soul. I strive to create space for voices like mine to be seen, heard, and felt.
