Concerned with the current context and times, Marianella creates political projects in which she puts social, gender, and Latin American issues in the limelight. She has received awards and recognition from the Molière Prize, the Cultural Centre of Spain, the University of Buenos Aires, the Argentinian ACE Critics Awards, and the Uruguayan public broadcaster.
