Tiago Rodrigues
Playwright and director, Tiago Rodrigues encountered the Belgian company tgSTAN in 1997, while he was still a student, an encounter that definitively confirmed his commitment to the collective spirit within theatrical creation. Co-founder, with Magda Bizarro, of the company Mundo Perfeito in 2003 in Lisbon, he has since created nearly thirty productions in over twenty countries. These include António e Cleópatra based on Shakespeare in 2015, Bovary based on Gustave Flaubert’s novel, The Way She Dies based on Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina with tgSTAN, and Dans la mesure de l’impossible, a play he wrote based on interviews with thirty members of the International Committee of the Red Cross and Médecins Sans Frontières. After leading the Teatro Nacional D. Maria II in Lisbon from 2015 to 2021, he took over as director of the Avignon Festival in 2023. There, he notably created Chekhov’s La Cerisaie in the Cour d’honneur of the Palais des papes in 2022.
His theatrical work, written in Portuguese and published in French by Les Solitaires Intempestifs, has been translated into nine languages (French, Spanish, Dutch, Estonian, Italian, Romanian, German, Arabic, and Korean).
