Perhaps the most beautiful of my childhood friends recruited by a guerrilla group in a remote part of the world.
Three years ago we started a documentary journey to a country not too far away that was experiencing a civil war, we made a collective journey to tell the story of a fratricidal tragedy. Little by little, deep layers appeared where the focus was on them and their stolen childhoods, exploited in front of the eyes of ourselves and the rest of society.
Then our childhoods reappeared, our happy bodies in happy worlds, and theirs sacrificed in a world financed by war.
My childhood friend appeared and now he appears again, now an adult, exiled, with tears on his skin. He comes to a sacrifice or perhaps to a ritual that will make him reborn. He is as beautiful as that lost childhood.

I studied at the Escuela Nacional de Arte Dramático in Bogotá, Colombia, and for 35 years I have continued my artistic career in Spain where I co-founded the Teatro de La Abadía and created Curtidores de Teatro. I have directed plays by authors such as Valle-Inclán, Cervantes, Brecht, S. Khane, T. Bernhard, Ortiz de Gondra, Arrabal, A. Lidell, Koltès. I have received numerous awards for my performances.

Part of my pedagogical experience stems from conversations and contact with masters such as Anatoli Vassiliev, Augusto Fernández, Mummenschanz, Odin Teatret, Franca Rame, Dario Fo, Richard Schechner, María del Mar Navarro, Eugeni Bogdanov, Joanna Merlin, Vicente Fuentes, Agustín García Calvo.
I am currently focused on enabling a scenic discourse that speaks of Latin America here in Spain.
Today more than ever, I believe in education and artistic creation as tools that transform society.
