Inés Álvarez Villa

Based in City of Edinburgh

Theatre

Inés Álvarez Villa tells stories that live between worlds: traditional tales from Spain and Scotland, legends rooted in landscape, and narratives of her own creation. Born in northern Spain and based in Edinburgh since 2004, training in the craft of storytelling through the Scottish Storytelling Forum Apprenticeship..
Her performances are characterized by physical expressiveness, atmospheric warmth, and an ability to shift seamlessly between the humorous and the haunting. Inés creates intimate spaces where stories come alive and audiences become active participants in the telling, whether in theaters, festivals, or gathered close in smaller venues.
Critics have described her work as "captivating," "spellbinding," and "utterly immersive," noting her gift for conjuring vivid worlds through voice, gesture, and presence. She has performed at major festivals including the Scottish International Storytelling Festival, Edinburgh Fringe, Atlantica International Storytelling Festival in Galicia, and Listowel International Storytelling Festival in Ireland.
In addition to performances, Inés offers storytelling workshops that explore the craft and power of oral narrative. She believes deeply in storytelling as a bridge, revealing the shared humanity that connects us across cultures and borders.
