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 Spain and Germany. In Spain, his play *En la mesura de l’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 Germany, the premiere of his play *Catarina, or the Beauty of Killing Fascists* in Bochum was met with violent protests. The play's controversial subject matter, specifically a monologue delivered by an actor portraying a far-right activist, triggered audience members to shout, throw objects, and attempt to invade the stage. This incident highlights the provocative and politically charged nature of Rodrigues's work and its capacity to elicit strong reactions from audiences.
