Romeo Castellucci is an Italian theatre director, playwright, artist, and designer. He earned his diploma in set design and painting at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna and co-founded the Societas Raffaello Sanzio. His company is considered to be one of the most radical contemporary theatre groups in Italy and in Europe. In 2003 he became director of the theatre section of the 37th edition of the Venice Biennale. In 2008, he was one of two “associate artists” at the Festival d’Avignon and created three pieces inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy. The trilogy was considered by the French newspaper Le Monde to be “the best play and one of the ten most influential cultural events in the world for the decade 2000-2010”.
