Alberto Cortés
Alberto Cortés (Màlaga, 1983). He graduated in Stage Direction and Playwriting at the ESAD in Málaga and in Art History at the University of Málaga (UMA). In 2009, he began his stage career with a bastard and peripheral dramaturgy that has continued to evolve over time. Since then, he has consistently collided with various creators and friends who have inspired his path, while generating works in different formats and disciplines in an attempt to sustain hope in the intangible, the spiritual, and the human.
His work has developed over the years through theatre, dance, and performance, as well as through folklore, flamenco, and site-specific practices. He also accompanies the creative processes of other artists through direction and dramaturgy, and leads workshops conceived as encounters in which he shares the research that runs through his practice. At a certain point, his path settled on the idea of understanding the stage as a space of desire and of cultivating a romantic relationship with the spectator.
In 2022, he published Los montes son tuyos with the publishing house Continta me tienes, which brings together the texts of the plays El Ardor and One night at the golden bar. His most recent play, Analphabet, premiered at the end of 2024; the book Siempre vengo de noche, which collects the text of the play, was published after the premiere. Today, he inhabits his identity as a creator, performer, director, playwright, companion, teacher, son, brother, uncle, lover, and friend.
