Cindy Faúndez is a circus artist, dramaturge, cultural manager and producer. She wrote the plays Elena Caffarena Pro-Emancipación Femenina and Errantes, both by Colectiva Cirkeras de Tarapacá, among other roles. She develops performances and choreographies for presentations in the Northern Chilean region of Tarapacá, and also was the dramaturge of the play 4 Puertas, premiered in 2021 at the Re-Vive la Cultura Festival. As a cultural manager, she has developed numerous projects across the region, seeking to to grant professional visibility to circus artists and artists from other areas of the performing arts.

"La grupa", as they define themselves (pun of the male-only Spanish noun “el grupo”), arises from the need to grant visibility for and promote the work of circus women in the Tarapacá Region. Formed in Iquique in 2020, the collective specializes in management, production, creation and tour arrangements of cultural, social and pedagogical artistic projects, circus and audiovisual performing arts. The artistic cast and the technical and the management team are entirely female: jugglers, aerialists, tightrope walkers, illusionists, acrobats, clowns, actresses, magicians, assembly technicians and makeup artists amongst many others.
