Martina Momo Kunz

Martina “Momo” Kunz (Switzerland) is a performer, director, writer and musician working across theatre, film, literature and music. In her artistic practice she explores storytelling at the intersections of body, language, sound and visual forms, often using personal and collective memories as a starting point for interdisciplinary works. Momo completed training as a physical actress in 2006 and in 2014 received a BA in Literary Writing from the Bern University of the Arts. In 2016 she founded the theatre company LES MÉMOIRES D‘HÉLÈNE. As artistic director, author and performer she has created six productions with the company, supported by the city and canton of Zurich and by Pro Helvetia. The company received the second prize at PREMIO and has since developed into a collectively organized structure with multi-year funding. In addition to her work with the collective, Momo is one half of the rap duo I NEVER TOOK MY RITALIN with which she performs as a rapper and singer at festivals in Switzerland and internationally. In 2025 she completed the Master program Dirección de Ficción at the Escuela Internacional de Cine y Televisión (EICTV) in Cuba.
