Bogotá, DC, ColombiaBiography
Emblematic actress born in Bogotá. Her real name is Adriana Marulanda Herrán. She took her first body expression classes with actors from the La Candelaria Theater group in Bogota and at the Experimental Theater in Cali. She attended Sebastián Ospina's acting workshop, Carlos Mayolo's film workshop and Pawel Noviski's workshop, among other outstanding teachers. She was founder and director of the theater group of the Hebrew School Jorge Isaacs in Cali. She later studied acting direction at the Rome Film Lab and screenwriting at the European Design Institute in Rome, Italy. She had an outstanding presence during the 80's when she formed an interesting duo with Cali director Carlos Mayolo, who affectionately defined her in his memoirs as "my little star". The filmmaker made her the muse of his films and motivated her to use the artistic name with her mother's surname, which was more sonorous, was related to the world of the arts, was uncommon and had an ancestry with several heroes of the country's history. Herrán was a beautiful, young and disturbing woman whose appearance in Mayolo's films fed the director's proposal with an exotic, sensual and surrealistic cinematographic style called Tropical Gothic.
