Catherine Machado is an artist, theatre creator, and award-winning archive producer based in Tiohtià:ke (Montréal). She is a performer and events organizer for RODAISUN, a poetry project and triadic print journal.

Her play ‘The Womb is a Room in Another Person’ premiered at the 2025 Montréal Fringe, earning a nomination for Most Promising Emerging English Producer. She performed the role of Time in Marcela Szwarc’s ‘Raj Na Ziemi / Paradise on Earth’ (2024). 

She is the creator of CAT CRUSH (Grapeseed Books, 2022), a newsletter-turned poetry book on intimacy during a pandemic, culminating in a performative launch in a staged domestic space featuring video art and a kissing booth sculpted with papier-mâché. 

Her work engages mysticism, social narratives, and embodied memory, transmuting the absurd through an intimate, psychic lens. Her practice is experimental, working across live performance, literature, sculpture, and film. Her visual research has received national recognition, including a Canadian Screen Award (2024).
