Biography

Maria Wiasmitinowa was born in 1978 in Germany to German-Italian parents. Her mother passed away when she was just two years old. She then grew up in a foster home in Basle, Switzerland, until she turned seventeen. During this period, Maria began performing in the presence of her friends and guardians. Her wish was that other people would not have to suffer as she had, and this motivated her to create laughter through comedy. When she left the foster home, she already knew she would become an actress. She went on to take a job at the famous Fondation Beyeler to earn money. After putting some of her earnings aside, she attended an actor's workshop at the New York Film Academy. She then returned to Switzerland with empty pockets and began saving money again to pursue further training in acting. Maria Wiasmitinowa was mentored by Marco Hausammann-Gilardi who received his performing arts education under the mentorship of Ernie Martin at Strasberg's Real Stage. Today, the roles Maria takes on reflect the depth of her emotions.
