Set designer Inês Mota designs and creates sets, props, masks and puppets for various theatre projects (Pratique de la Ceinture, Ô Ventre – Cie Bleu Gorgone, 2025) and films (Je Reste Roi de Mes Douleurs – dir. Claire Boust, 2021). She also works as an assistant set designer (Contre – Set designer Alwyne de Dardel, 2024), production manager (Pratique de la Ceinture, Ô Ventre) and stage manager (Les Petites Filles modernes – Cie Louis Brouillard). She is a member of La Chloka, an association and workshop she shares with three costume designers, where she organises workshops and carries out her projects.

Born in Porto, she obtained her bachelor's degree in scenography in 2016 and completed a one-year technical internship at ESMAE. Her professional career then took her to various European countries, notably Italy (2016) and the United Kingdom (2017), until she arrived in France in 2019 to study for a master's degree in scenography at ENSATT in Lyon, as a Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation scholarship holder. Her research-creation project, ‘The immateriality of scenography, between matter and evocation,’ attests to her affinity, as a creator, with abstraction and minimalism, based on collaboration and complicity.

In the future, she hopes to develop her work in Portugal and France, tackle the themes that fascinate her and continue to explore the world of puppetry and scenography.
