Fernanda Vizeu is a Brazilian actress and performer. She was born in 1989 and lived in Chile and the United States until she was 19. In 2013, she graduated in performing arts from “ETET Martins Penna”, the oldest theater school in Latin America, in Rio de Janeiro. In recent years, she has been developing her own projects that engage with her personal experiences, researching the boundaries between art and life. Her performances “E as pessoas na sala de jantar” and “Catracacatraca”, created in the context of popular demonstrations during the “June 2013 Protests”, went viral on social media. Recordings of these performances were presented at international art festivals in Buenos Aires, Berlin, Venice, New York and Seoul. They were also featured in news articles and art publications. Between 2014 and 2016, she lived in Berlin, performing the tour-performance she co-authored “A Tour in Berlin”, guiding spectators through the historical sites of the German capital. She furthered her research on performances created in the context of the “2013 June Journeys”, developing the installation “© BRAZIL EXPOSED”, for the main exhibition of the Berlin art festival “48 Stunden Neukölln”, with the theme S.O.S. – Kunst Rettet Welt (S.O.S – Art Saves the World).

In 2017, she participated in Brasília with “A Tour in Berlin” at the “Marco Zero International Dance and Performance Festival” and received the Serpente Prize for Dramaturgy from the São Paulo publisher Kazuá, for the work “Catraca Catraca, Vozes do Povo Brasileiro”, an offshoot of the performance “Catracacatraca”.
