Romeo Castellucci

Director and stage, lighting, and costume designer Romeo Castellucci (Cesena, Italy, 1960) is known worldwide for creating a theatre founded on the totality of the arts and aimed at an integral perception. His theater engages in a type of dramaturgy that subverts the primacy of literature, thus becoming a complex and supple form of art; a theater made of extraordinarily rich images, expressed in a language as comprehensible as music, sculpture, painting, or architecture. His stagings are regularly invited and produced by the most prestigious international theatres, opera houses, and festivals in over sixty countries across the five continents.

In his career, he has received important prizes and awards. Romeo Castellucci is Grand Invité at Milan Triennale between 2021–2024. In October 2023, he begins the creation of Richard Wagner’s tetralogy “The Ring of the Nibelung” at La Monnaie Brussels. In March 2024, he got involved in the staging of Jean Racine’s “Berenice” at the same theater, in collaboration with Isabelle Huppert.
