Romeo Castellucci

Director and creator of sets, lights and costumes, Romeo Castellucci is known over the world for creating a theatre based on the totality of arts and aimed at an integral perception of the work. His theatre proposes a dramaturgy that overturns the primacy of literature, making the stage a complex form of art containing extraordinarily rich images and expressed in an universally understandable language, such as music, sculpture, painting or architecture. 
Castellucci's productions are regularly invited and presented by the most prestigious international theatres, festivals and opera houses of over sixty countries on all continents. 
He was director of the Theatre section at the Venice Biennale, “Artiste Associé” at the Avignon Festival, and is currently “Grand Invité” at the Milano Triennale (2021-2024) and guest director at the Schaubühne in Berlin. 
In summer 2022, Romeo Castellucci was commissioned for the production of Gustav Mahler’s Resurrection at Festival Aix-en-Provence, and for the production of Béla Bartók’s Bluebeard's Castle at Salzburg Festival, followed by Carl Orff’s De temporum fine comoedia.
