“ARICAMA, the spiritual/sci-fi universe of practice, play, and healing, blossoms through methods of puppetry, fashion, light language, playwriting, comics, illustration, animation, and musical composition. Asian/Filipino indigenous roots, Mayan mythology, Vedic astrology, and extraterrestrial connection blend and ground an impossible future into our reality. The characters channeled allow me to explore their liberated cultures as we implement our most fun potential.”


Maria Camia (@themaricama) is a visual theatre artist who creates spiritual / sci-fi plays, puppets, spiritual clothing, illustration, comics, and social media videos with the intention to globally inspire healing and play. Maria performed original work for La Mama, 7 Daughters of Eve’s Church Service, FEAST, Great Small Works, Concrete Temple, Dixon Place, The Center @ West Park’s Object Movement, and Pan Asian Repertory Theatre. She is a 2020 Jim Henson Workshop Grant Recipient and part of DP’s Puppetry Residency Program, all in support of her first full-length puppetry production NEW MONY! premiering May 2021 at Dixon Place.
