Anna Fernández

Santi&Anna_(c)_SantiArnal&AnaFernandez

Anna Fernández was born in Barcelona in 1970. She studied journalism for two years at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and obtained a degree in geography and history from the Universitat de Barcelona. She worked for three years at Radio Barcelona, Cadena Ser, and contributed as a journalist to different magazines, publishing companies, and newspapers in Madrid and Barcelona. She then joined the Centre de Treball i Documentació de Barcelona (centre for work and documentation), where she took part in producing and managing contemporary debates on the Spanish transition, an alternative to the Barcelona Euromediterranean Conference, war crimes in the former Yugoslavia, and the Gulf War.

In 1998, her life took a turn and her interest in art and stagecraft led her to join the puppet company, Per Poc, created by Santi Arnal in 1989. Together, they have formed a solid creative tandem that has taken them to big stages all over the world. In the past 20 years, the company has specialized in bringing to the stage major musical works by composers such as Benjamin Britten, Sergei Prokofiev, Igor Stravinsky, Felix Mendelssohn, and Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. In all of its productions, it works on the design and creation of the shows and in many works, its plays and acting role.

Since 2015, Anna Fernández has been living in Sartène, on the island of Corsica, where she holds puppet workshops for children and combines her work as a puppeteer with beekeeping, after training at the Sartène Agricultural College.

In 2021, the company presented its first Baroque project with the story of Puss in Boots by Perrault, with music by Lully, Marais, etc. For 2022, Per Poc has put on ‘El Retablo de Maese Pedro’ (Master Peter’s Puppets Show) by Manuel de Falla.
