BIOGRAPHY:

Restless and curious look on the visual arts and movement where the body and / or objects are the communicators.

He understands the scenic fact as a space of dialogue between the human being, the object and the environment, where the game and the work blend with the tools, the experiences and the ideas that each one carries.

He began to study plastic arts in 1994 at the Llotja, School of Applied Arts and Artistic Crafts.

From 1999 to 2005 he went to different circus schools such as Carampa in Madrid, Rogelio Rivel in Barcelona, and the National Circus School in Moscow, to specialize in the work of gates or acrobatic balances (hand to hand).

He has made a parallel training in contemporary dance and languages close to the movement as the theatre of gesture or the clown, studying the different ways of doing, of international pedagogues like Mal Pelo, Michel Dellaire, Iñaki Azpillaga, Àngels Margarit, Thomas Hauert, David Zambrano, etc.

Since 2005 he has worked in different theatres and festivals all over the world with the companies Daraomai, Circus Klezmer, Los 2Play, Cia Mudances-Angels Margarit. In 2012 he began to develop his particular vision of the performing arts designed for the street and urban landscapes. Putting it into practice with the show PELAT, premiered at the Tàrrega 2013 fair and which has had a great international tour.
