Eugenio Szwarcer

Set and Video Design

Born in Argentina, and a graduate of the Theatre Institute, Barcelona, Eugenio’s career began immediately whilst he was still a student. He was able to bring with him specialist training in the use of video and digital technology for the arts, gained through working with a leading Italian company in the field of video for opera.

Collaborating with leading Spanish Directors Carmen Portaceli and Joan Oller, Eugenio has presented his work at the National Theatre of Catalunya, Teatre Lliure, Mercat de les Flors and the Grec Festival, and on tour in Valencia, Madrid, Frankfurt and MOMA, New York. In 2011 Eugenio was delighted to move between smaller scale work (Against Democracy: Dir. Carlos Fernandez) at the Sala Beckett to set and video design for Concha – a biographic spectacular of the life of the actress Concha Velasco - to the Merchant of Venice (Dir.Rafael Duran at the National Theatre Catalunya).

Eugenio works intuitively and with great flexibility, enabling him to achieve things that, at times, have been described as “impossible” technically!
