Her work explores women’s interior worlds, merging glamour and surrealism to reimagine myth and tragedy through a feminine lens. Through this vision, she has created projects such as Anatomy of a Showgirl, her autobiographical documentary short following a series of performances from a pivotal year as a cabaret diva, and Filing Down, an upcoming psychological body horror that chronicles a woman’s day through the fixation of her perfect acrylic nails. Her upcoming projects include Rosebud, a psychological comedy currently in post production, and her thesis film, Antigone, a mythical horror.

Alongside training at The Upright Citizens Brigade in comedy writing and performance and acting at The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute, Lourdés has spent a decade as a downtown diva, honing her voice in New York’s cabaret and stand-up scene with her cerebral comedy style, and has established herself through her longstanding partnership with Club Cumming, most notably through her live weekly cabaret hour Nightcap!. Her first comedy hour, Whatta Gal!, opened in the West Village in 2019. Her acting work spans traditional and experimental theatre, from Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night to the avant-garde production Thread Hell. She is also a trained classical singer.

She has worked as a producer on The Cancer, the thesis film of Oscar-nominated filmmaker and writer Sam Fuentes. She has also served as a production assistant on Bunnylovr, a film selected for the Sundance U.S. Dramatic Competition, produced by Rachel Sennott.

She is completing her BA in Film Production and Classical Studies, studying Latin, as well as a minor in Theatre at Hunter College. As a classical scholar, Lourdés has a distinct focus on mysticism and ritual lamentation in antiquity.

As an entrepreneur, she is hard at work running Zamora Media Group, a social media management agency, and building Split Lip Pictures, a film production company.
