Tiago Rodrigues

Tiago Rodrigues is a Portuguese playwright whose work is gaining international attention. He is newsworthy due to recent productions of his plays in both Barcelona and Germany. In Barcelona, his play "En la mesura de l’impossible" (In the Measure of the Impossible), translated and directed by Cristina Genebat, is currently running at the Teatre La Biblioteca. This play explores the world of humanitarian aid. Simultaneously, in Bochum, Germany, the German premiere of his play "Catarina, or the Beauty of Killing Fascists" has sparked controversy. During a performance, an actor delivering a monologue as a far-right character was met with violent protests, including shouting, fruit throwing, and an attempted stage invasion. This highlights the provocative and politically charged nature of Rodrigues's work and its capacity to elicit strong reactions from audiences.
