El desarrollo de la civilización venidera

Nothing but the Truth
For the past two decades the director Daniel Veronese has been practising theatre in all its forms. He started out as an actor and a puppeteer before founding in 1989 the company El periferico de objetos, which made its first appearance at the FTA in 1999 with Maquina Hamlet, a puppet vision of Müller’s piece. That same year he was appointed artistic advisor for the prestigious Buenos Aires International Theatre Festival. He has also written some twenty plays (including Mujeres Soñaron Caballos) that have been translated into French, German, Italian and Portuguese.

He excels as a director of actors, stimulating them to visceral, energetic performances of precision and lightness. Audiences were enchanted by his first cycle of reworked classics. In an effort to render Chekhov contemporary and have his work resonate with modern audiences, he presented stripped-down versions of The Three Sisters and Uncle Vanya at festivals in New York, Tokyo, Madrid, Milan, Seoul and Paris. These were followed by Ibsen’s A Doll’s House and Hedda Gabler, which met with universal acclaim. In his ongoing pursuit to find the truth of each phrase, each word and each situation, he has also directed contemporary plays by Jon Fosse, Neil Labute and David Mamet.
