Pablo Rosal

Pablo Rosal Abascal (Barcelona, 1983) is a poet, playwright, actor, and stage director. He has created works including ‘Anita Coliflor’ (2009), ‘Yo inacabo’ (2018), and ‘Los que hablan’ (2020), the latter produced by Teatro del Barrio and featuring Malena Alterio and Luis Bermejo. ‘Los que hablan’ has toured extensively across Spain. In early 2023, his play ‘Asesinato de un fotógrafo’ premiered at Sala Beckett in Barcelona and was later staged at Teatro de la Abadía in Madrid, with additional touring planned. His published scripts include ‘Tres ejercicios en la explanada’ (ed. Punto de Vista, 2022), ‘Asesinato de un fotógrafo-Castroponce’ (ed. Ya lo dijo Casimiro Parker, 2023), and ‘Anita Coliflor’ (ed. Del Imperdible, 2010). Other works, such as ‘Esperaban los guardas’ and ‘El ballet de Rocío Ahumada’, remain unstaged. He has also published the essay ‘Curso de teatro discontinuo’ (ed. Oblicuas, 2014) and several self-published titles, including ‘Teoría General del Texto’ (2009) and ‘Yo inacabo’ (2018). For many years, Rosal combined his artistic work with teaching language and literature at the secondary level. He relocated to Madrid in late 2019 to focus on staging productions and collaborating on cultural projects. He has performed with the international troupe Agrupación Señor Serrano (‘Kingdom’, 2017-2020) and remains active at Sala Beckett, Teatro del Barrio, and Teatro de la Abadía as an actor, director, teacher, and playwright. At Teatro de la Abadía, he directed a version of Henrik Ibsen’s ‘The Wild Duck’, which premiered in May 2022. His first film, ‘Un trabajo y una película’, premiered in 2019, with Rosal serving as scriptwriter, producer, and actor. The film was selected for international festivals in Shanghai, Bogotá, and Cairo. His monologue ‘Castroponce’ premiered in February 2022 and continues to tour. He is currently thinking about you.
