In 2012 after studying at the CAU Circus School, she moved into the one-woman world and founded her own company, Franxi Natra Clowna.
Her unique approach and feminine humour have been highlights of her work, thanks to which she has been successful since the beginning of her company, doing seasons in Europe and Mexico. Since then, she has produced a series of shows, including the acclaimed ‘Round a Round’, which has been performed at numerous events, festivals and fairs.
For nine years, Francesca lived and worked in Barcelona, where she perfected her art and from where she travelled throughout Europe, America and Asia, presenting her unique vision of performance.
She continued her circus training in acrobatics, trampoline at the Rogelio Rivel school in Barcelona, and her training as a comic actress with various Clown and theatre courses.
