Шаблон:Short description Florencia Iriondo is an Argentinian-American playwright, composer, actor, singer, and showrunner. She is best known for her Off-Broadway musical, South, which won the 2023 Pipeline Arts Foundation Award for New Musical Theatre.[1] Iriondo wrote the book, music, and lyrics, and she also stars in the one-woman show.[1]
Iriondo was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[2] She currently lives and works in the East Village of New York City,[3] where she has resided since 2013.[2] She has also lived in New Zealand and Ireland.[2]
Career
Iriondo worked at LinkedIn for many years, where she was the company's first showrunner and founder of original video.[2] While working at LinkedIn, she would write and perform music and theater in her spare time.[3] She began her first show, South, in 2014 when she wrote the opening song, "Vengo del Sur," at a teal upright piano in her East Village apartment.[4][5] She left LinkedIn in 2022 to pursue musical theater and her show, South, full time.[2][3]
As a writer and performer, Iriondo was a Town Stage 2020 Sokoloff Arts Creative Fellow[6] and a recipient of the National Alliance for Musical Theatre's 2022-23 Writers Residency Grants.[7]
Her first show, Back Home, was originally written for three women.[8] This show would ultimately become South, a one-woman show featuring Iriondo.[8][2]
South, the musical
Iriondo's show, South, opened Off-Broadway at Soho Playhouse in October 2023.[1] Iriondo wrote the book, lyrics, and music, and she is the only actor in the one-act, one-woman show.[9][1] The acoustic score was written and arranged along with fellow musicians, Federico Díaz and Luis D'Elias,[5] with a mixture of Argentinian and North American pop influences.[10][2]
Though Iriondo performs the one-woman show alone, she is accompanied on stage by two musicians, guitarist Federico Díaz and Latin Grammy Award winner Agustin Uriburu, playing the cello and guitar.[4]
South was developed in residency at the New York Stage and Theater in the summer of 2021 and at The Eugene O’Neill Theater Center.[1][11] and it was the winner of the Pipeline Arts Foundation Award for New Musical Theatre in 2023.[9]
The show is inspired by Iriondo's experiences as a Latina immigrant in New York City, and it explores themes of family and belonging.[2] It tells the fictional story of Chica, who fled her home in the southernmost tip of Argentina to live in New York City.[9] The musical follows Chica's journey of self-discovery and identity as she navigates a new language, a new culture, and a big new city.[9]
The cast album was recorded in Argentina.[5]
