Tiago Rodrigues

Portuguese actor Tiago Rodrigues crossed paths with the Belgian company Tg Stan at the age of twenty. There, he developed his acting, his writing for the theater, and his taste for the collective. As an author and director, he founded the company Mundo Perfeito with Magda Bizarro in 2003, before becoming director of the Teatro Nacional D. Maria II in Lisbon from 2015 to 2021.

Combining true stories and fiction, and weaving together the intimate and the political, Tiago Rodrigues’s shows are deeply influenced by the idea of writing with and for the actors, and by his quest for a transformation of our conscience through the tools of theater.

His goal is to bring us together, to question our world through the power of words, bodies, and the spectators’ imagination. He is currently the director of the Festival d’Avignon in France.
