Paco Alfonsín Gergely

Co-founder of Spiri2Art Center and Grupo LIM&TE (Lab. International Music & Theatre), now he runs the TransylvaniaTheaterLab and teaches movement at different Drama Schools in Andalusia and Transylvania.

His more than 30 years “sur les planches” / “sobre las tablas” /  “on stage”… have taken him through a vast diversity of “theatre languages”: from the fragmented and dogmatic “Physical Theatre” of the 90s, to the diverse, playful and presentational-honest British Theatre (“I am here; I am beautiful; I am here to tell you a story”); From the truthful “Theatre of the De-formed” to the risky and philosophical  Contemporary French Theatre; From the precise and eclectic Eastern European Theatre to the burlesque of the French Cabaret; From the edgy “Cités de Marseille” making contemporary opera with kids, to the deep and human Community Theatre in Scotland and North of England. He also had the opportunity to nurture his artistic practice, encountering in his journey masters and directors like Gabor Tompa (Hungarian State Theatre Cluj. Transylvania), Alan Lyddiard (The Performance Ensemble, Leeds. UK), Emma Rice (Wise Children. Bristol. UK), Juan Dolores Caballero (Teatro Del Velador. Seville. Spain), Richard Gregory (Quarantine Theatre. Manchester. UK), Eugenio Barba (ODIN Theatre / ISTA. Denmark), Serge Noyels (Theatre des Calanques. Marseille. France), Esperanza Abad (Madrid), Yves Marc (Theatre de Mouvement. France), Dominique Serrand (The Moving Company, Minneapolis. USA), Ricardo Iniesta (Atalaya-TNT. Seville, Spain)… amongst others.

This rich environment allowed and provoked him to direct and run Artistic-theatre experiences like: “Sept2&AFew”, a month long international residence and meeting in Jerez; “Y tú?... De Quién Eres?”, Music-Theater Laboratory also in Jerez, his home town, In collaboration with artists from France, UK, Zanzibar and Spain; “A Casa” at Nottara Theater (Bucharest. Roumania); “Story of a DoubleBass” at Hungarian State Theatre Cluj (Transylvania. Roumania); “Y, Ahora Qué?” (From Quai Ouest. Koltes) Seville, ESAD. (Andalucia. Spain)
