Georgina Saldaña Wonchee is a Mexican actress and singer whose artistic career bridges theater and music through a body of work deeply connected to the exploration of memory, identity, and feminine sensibility on stage.

 

She studied acting at the Atlantic Acting School in New York and co-founded the theater company Espejo Escénico in Oaxaca, a collective dedicated to collaborative creation and theatrical research from a contemporary and poetic perspective.

 

Since 2025, she has been a member of Village Playback Theatre in New York, participating in theatrical improvisation and performance practices centered on community dialogue, collective memory, and the transformation of real-life stories into live performance.

​

As a performer, she has participated in theatrical, musical, and multidisciplinary projects in both Mexico and the United States. In 2024, she presented Cruzando Ensueños at the Whitney Museum in New York, a musical monologue centered on migration and the emotional territories of memory.

​

Her acting work has also expanded into independent cinema, starring in Albatross, a short film selected for the 2026 Sundance Film Festival 2026.

​

Alongside her theatrical career, she has developed a strong musical trajectory as a mezzo-soprano singer, performing as a soloist in choirs and vocal ensembles, as well as in Latin American music projects.

 

For more than fifteen years, she has directed La China Sonidera, a musical project rooted in cumbia and popular Latin American sounds, with performances in Mexico, the United States, Belgium, and the United Arab Emirates.

​

Her artistic work is distinguished by the fusion of theatricality, live music, and an intimate yet powerful stage presence.
