Director and visual artist Romeo Castellucci is internationally acclaimed for his groundbreaking approach to theatre — one that unites all the arts into a single, total experience. His work invites an integral form of perception, where image, sound, and movement replace the dominance of text, creating a visual dramaturgy as expressive and immediate as music, sculpture, painting, or architecture.
His productions continue to be presented and commissioned by leading theatres, festivals, and opera houses across more than sixty countries worldwide.
Romeo Castellucci has served as Director of the Theatre Section of the Venice Biennale (2005) and as Associate Artist of the Avignon Festival (2008). His numerous honours include the Prix Europa for New Theatrical Realities, the title of Officier des Arts et des Lettres from the French Republic, the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement from the Venice Biennale, and an honorary doctorate from the University of Bologna. He is also a member of the Royal Academy of Belgium.
