Mia Maestro, born on June 19, 1978 in Buenos Aires Argentina, had an impressive theater repertoire in Berlin, where she studied Brechtian acting techniques and voice, dance and music classes. During this time, the 18-year-old Mia appeared in theater productions of Kurt Weill and Hans Eisler. After returning to Buenas Aires, Maestro joined the commedia dell’arte and starred in the 1998 production of “Pandora’s Box,” which led to an Ace Award for ‘Best New Artist of the Year.’

When Mia Maestro made her film debut in “Tango,” she continued to build her film portfolio with movies such as “The Venice Project” and “Timecode” opposite Selma Hayek.
