Teatro Timbre 4

The troupe was created in 1999 by a group of theatre professionals with diverse backgrounds and training. In 2001, when the group was fully formed and performing, the need arose to create its own space for research, training and exhibitions, and Timbre 4 was created to meet the group's needs.From the beginning, Timbre 4 was always a workplace. Today, it serves not only as a theatre hall but also as a classroom throughout the week for drama students who wish to become actors. The creators of Timbre 4 describe it in these words: 'It's a house. And the house is a school. And the school is a theatre...'.

SERGIO BLANCO / Author

He was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1971. He studied philology and dramatic arts. After being a student and assistant to several directors, such as Atahualpa del Cioppo, Antonio Larreta, Nelly Goitiño, and Aderbal Freire-Filho, he directed in Uruguay the staging of Shakespeare's Richard III, Macbeth and Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac. In 1993, he won the Florencio Revelación award. He travelled to Paris under a grant to study theatre direction at the Comédie-Française, alongside European directors and masters such as Alain Françon, Georges Lavaudant, Daniel Mesguich and Matthias Langhoff. Thereafter, his involvement in projects in both Uruguay and France grew, and he settled definitively in Paris in 1998, where he now lives. Slaughter, .45’, Kiev, Barbarie, Kassandra, El salto de Darwin and Tebas Land are among his better-known scripts. His works have premiered in his country and abroad, and most have been translated into other languages and published in different countries. He has been honoured with various prizes, among them the Uruguayan National Dramaturgy Prize, the Municipality of Montevideo's National Dramaturgy Prize, the National Theatre Fund Award, the Florencio Award for Best Playwright, and the International Casa de las Américas Prize. Since 2008, he has been a director of the contemporary performing arts company COMPLOT, and, for the last six years, he has worked for the Ministry of Education and Culture in France, coordinating and directing literature workshops at several educational centres. In recent years, he has been invited repeatedly to speak at seminars, courses and conferences at universities and cultural centres in France, Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, Spain, Burkina Faso and Greece. In March 2013, the University Carlos III of Madrid appointed him as general director of arts and academic matters of the European project Crossing Stages, which brings together the departments of theoretical research and theatre production of several European universities. That same year, he was invited by Comedia Nacional of Uruguay to oversee the first edition of the National Playwriting Seminar for young playwrights. In 2014, he presented his most recent work, Tebas Land, in Buenos Aires as a guest of the San Martín National Theatre.
