Rodrigo Garcia – Playwright
Playwright Rodrigo García (1964) was born in Spain and grew up in the slums of Buenos Aires. In 2009 he won the 9th edition of the Europe Prize New Theatrical Realities. García writes, directs, acts, designs and makes video art. With his theatre company La Carnicería Teatro (The Butcher’s Theatre) he has developed a surprising and unique theatrical language that searches for new rituals in everyday life. His work has been performed at theatre festivals in Madrid, Brittany, Avignon, Venice and Paris. García’s dream of “a theatre which opens its doors to everyone” consistently refuses to adhere to the rules or dogmas of the theatre.
