    Gabriel Calderón

    Born in 1982, Gabriel Calderón is a Uruguayan playwright, director and actor. With over thirty plays to his credit, he has twice been awarded the Uruguayan National Literature Prize. His texts have been translated into French, German, English, Italian, Catalan, Greek and Portuguese. His plays have been staged in South America and Europe. He is also the first Uruguayan playwright to have been programmed at the Teatro Nacional de Catalunya (Barcelona) and the Teatro di Modena (Italy). He was director of the Comedia Nacional in Montevideo from 2021 to 2024. In 2024, he was the first Uruguayan artist to be programmed at the Festival d'Avignon.

    His subversive texts attack all the taboos of Uruguayan society, tackling subjects such as the army, religion, sexuality, the crimes of the dictatorship and settling scores with the past. At the same time, they deal with universal socio-political phenomena such as violence, war, terrorism, and the disarray and anxiety weighing on the future of the younger generations.
