Clara Aguilar (1992) is a Barcelona-based composer and performing artist. With a background in music, journalism, humanities, and gender studies, she brings a rich interdisciplinary perspective to her work. As a composer, she seamlessly moves across theater (involved in over fifty projects since 2017), dance (such her collabos with Marcos Morau ∞ La Veronal), performance art (directing her piece L’amour Toujours or Pussy Picnic), and cinema (such her collabos Elena Martín, Joana & Mireia Vilapuig, Mikel Gurrea, Borga Cobeaga, Ginesta Guindal, Maria Molina Peiró).
As a scenic artist, Aguilar is a member of the VVAA Collective and has contributed to productions such as Like Si Lloras (2017), Pool (No Water) (2017), This Is Real Love (2018), and Arcas 2020 (2021). Her sound design for Pool (No Water) won the award for Best Sound Space in 2018.
Under the moniker CLARAGUILAR, her debut album Mystery is All (Amên Discos) explores electronic music through dark, orchestral samples and layered synths, creating richly textured soundscapes. In January 2022, she premiered Sounds of an Imagined Arca, an immersive concert envisioning hybrid species in a post-apocalyptic world. Her latest album, Figura (Lapsus Records), debuted live at SONAR 23’ in early 2024.
