About us

Ay, Caramba Theatre was founded in 2018 by Yulissa Campos. As IBPOC professional artist and emerging playwright/producer Yulissa have always strived to ﬁnd plays that represent the stories of minorities.

Ay, Caramba! premiered in 2019 its ﬁrst show called I, Frida which was positively received by critics at the Saskatoon Fringe Festival, Frida was selected to be part of the M1 Singapore Fringe Festival in January 2021 and received international acclaim. Other successful projects are: Trapped (Short Cuts Festival Online 2020 & the National Theatre School, SUM The-atre 2019) and The Ungrateful Immigrant (This Is Not That Festival by 25th Street Theatre).

Ay Caramba’s artistic vision exists to represent those without a voice, create inspiring, entertainment and storytelling that tran-scends cultural boundaries, and embraces diversity on stage that is accessible to all. Ay Caramba’s artistic practice for future works is to decolonize the use of mainstream English storytelling
