From child star to European producer: Valeria Britos' new life

Valeria Britos, once a celebrated child star in 1990s Argentina, has carved out a new career as a theatrical producer in Europe and her home country. Britos, now 50, stepped away from traditional television when its demands no longer aligned with her personal priorities.

Her entry into acting was serendipitous. As a teenager, she visited a TV studio and expressed her desire to work, quickly landing roles in popular shows like "La Nena," which earned her widespread recognition. "I'm still surprised to have been part of so many people's childhoods and that we can reconnect today through social media," she said.

Motherhood in 2001 marked a turning point, leading her to pursue a degree in Communication Sciences. She later partnered with musician Lionel Campoy, her husband, to found the production company Vale hacer Lío in 2013. Together, they create interactive stage shows for children, performing in both Spain and Argentina.

The COVID-19 pandemic presented another significant shift. Stranded in Italy due to travel restrictions, Britos and Campoy transformed the unexpected downtime into a business opportunity, embarking on tours across Spain. This period has been one of continuous growth for Britos, who also reflected on her mutual learning experiences with her daughter, Camille.
