Cristina Varga -
Theatre Maker

Cristina Varga is a Romanian theatre maker, performance artist and comedian based in Plymouth, UK. She pursued a master’s degree in Performance Training at Plymouth University, during which she began experimenting with interdisciplinary art that blends physical theatre and new media art often featuring nature as a visual element. Through her work, Cristina wants to forge a connection with the audience by intertwining autobiographical narratives with mixed media art, music and physical theatre.

 Recently, she discovered a passion for stand-up comedy and has been performing in Devon and Cornwall, where she is gaining a following in the local comedy scene.

In April 2023 Cristina performed her first solo show, Close Enough, an autobiographical performance which combines elements of comedy, physical theatre, original live music, and new media art that premiered at Theatre Royal Plymouth.

In 2024, Cristina co-founded alongside Danni Watmore Everything but Theatre, a theatre company based in Plymouth that  celebrates the complexities of human life through farce, absurdity and stupidity.
