Alejandro Tantanian is one of the most important creators of contemporary Argentine theater. Playwright, director, and cultural manager, his work is distinguished by poetic and fragmented writing and productions of great visual and audio rigor. With international circulation and critical acclaim, his years as General and Artistic Director at the Teatro Nacional Cervantes (2017-2020) marked a milestone by renewing repertoires and opening space for new voices, consolidating him as a key figure in the articulation between aesthetics and cultural policy.
