Tiago Rodrigues

Geboren 16 feb 1977 · Lisbon, Portugal

Portuguese actor, director, playwright, and producer. He is the current Director of Festival d'Avignon in France. Since he started as an actor, 25 years ago, Tiago Rodrigues has always looked at the theatre as a human assembly: a place where people meet, like in a cafe, to confront their thoughts and share their time. His work has been recognised by his ability to break borders between the theatre and different realities, challenging our perception of social and historical phenomenon. Throughout his career, Tiago Rodrigues has become a builder of bridges between cities and countries, at once host and advocate of a living theatre. His successful international stage play "Catarina and the Beauty of Killing Fascists" has toured extensively across Europe, including in September 2026 at the National Theatre in London, UK.
