Elena Borgna is an actress, director, and writer - or, as she likes to call herself, a “theatrewoman”. From a young age, she discovered in theatre a complex and all-encompassing art form, a space where she could channel her many passions and embark on a journey of inner exploration. After a mission trip to Brazil, she studied Intercultural Communication in Turin and trained in theatre at the Philip Radice Physical Theatre Atelier, where she deepened her knowledge of dance-theatre, acrobatics, mask work, commedia dell'arte, Butoh dance, clowning, and superdrama. Driven by a desire to merge theatre and anthropology within an ecological and spiritual discourse of renewed harmony with nature, she connected with the cultural association Teatro Selvatico, through which she created her first solo performance, Voci dal Bosco (Voices from the Woods). The show was presented at numerous Italian festivals, and she collaborated as a director, actress, event organizer, and theatre trainer. In 2023, she debuted her second work as a director and playwright, Voci dal Micelio. Between 2023 and 2024, she deepened her spiritual and artistic research by living in the forest, studying voice with Zero Teatro, and participating in the creation of a women's choir, while also practicing Vipassana meditation. She currently lives in an intentional ecological community, where she explores the interdependent relationships between living beings, the dream world, and non-verbal communication.

Teatro Selvatico is a cultural association based in Torre Mondovì, Piedmont, dedicated to theatre workshops in nature. One of the project's main goals is to build an interconnected artistic community to develop new ideas and creative projects. The wild people of Teatro Selvatico seek the freest, most complete, and most profound expression of the self, recognizing nature as both mother and muse. The association’s performances and workshops are rooted in the deep interconnection between humans and the community of living beings, making the surrounding environment both the stage and the subject of a creative and introspective process. This approach fosters artistic exploration and a shared journey of personal growth.
