Marta Singh

Born and raised in Argentina, Marta Singh lives and works in Ottawa. Since she started performing professionally in 2005, she has been featured yearly in the Ottawa StoryTellers Fourth Stage Series at the National Arts Centre, in both her solo and ensemble work, which includes 12-hour epic performances of The Odyssey (2012) and The Iliad (2014). Over the years, she has earned a reputation for striving for artistic excellence while pushing the boundaries of her art, as she continues to fuse her storytelling with the conventions of theatre.

Her latest work, The Geography Teacher’s Orders, won the Best of Fest Award and the Jury’s Award of Excellence at Ottawa’s 2018 Fringe Festival.

As a solo artist, Marta performs in English and Spanish in storytelling, literary and independent theatre festivals across North and South America. Her signature solo shows are compelling works of contemporary oral literature in which she weaves powerful pieces of memoir with Argentina’s public past.
