Meritxell de Soto

Barcelona-based performer and DJ, with sound as the central axis to all her facets. She is currently resident DJ for Víbora at the Razzmatazz nightclub. As well as DJing there, she helps with bookings, focusing on care. She also performs at self-managed parties, radio stations, and clubs in Europe. As a performer and dancer, De Soto has been a member of the LaSADCUM, the company with which she premiered Aclucalls at the CCCB and different Spanish theatres. She also works with the Akyute collective, doing an ambient live set performed using movement sensors. With the Matriu.id collective she researched collaborative practices, together creating “Gespa” (Turf), a series of dialogues to understand group creation, which was presented at the Sala Beckett theatre. It was there, in 2022, that Matriu.id premiered its first performance WARE Reinforced, in which De Soto was involved as both creator and actor.
