Alberto Cortés
Alberto Cortés is graduated in Stage Direction and Playwriting at the ESAD in Malaga and in Art History at the UMA. “In 2009 I began my stage career with a bastard and peripheral dramaturgy that has been evolving over time. Since then I have not stopped colliding with various creators and friends who have inspired my path, and generating pieces of different formats and disciplines in an attempt to continue to have hope in the intangible, the spiritual and the human. My work has developed over the years through theatre pieces, dance, performance and also folklore, flamenco or site-specifics; I accompany processes of other creators from the direction and dramaturgy and I give workshops as meetings where I share the research I am going through. At a certain moment my path has stopped at the idea of understanding the stage as the space of desire and the romantic relationship with the spectator. In 2022 I published ‘Los montes son tuyos’ with the publishing house ‘Continta me tienes’ which collects the texts of the plays, ‘El Ardor’ and ‘One night at the golden bar’. My last play, ‘Analphabet’, was 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 I inhabit my identity as a creator, performer, director, playwright, companion, teacher, son, brother, uncle, lover, friend.”
