Sergio Boris
The award-winning Argentinian actor, director, and playwright Sergio Boris has long worked for the cinema, most notably with directors Daniel Burman, Ariel Rotter, and Matías Lucchesi. On the stage, he's taken part in shows by Sergio Renán and Luciano Suardi, but also by Ricardo Bartís, with whom he has appeared in El Pecado que no se puede nombrar from 1998 to 2000 and in La Pesca, which played at the Festival d'Avignon in 2008. He created La Bohemia in 2001, El Sabor de la derrota in 2004, El Perpetuo Socorro in 2008, and El Cadáver de un recuerdo enterrado vivo in 2010. Viejo, Solo y Puto, created in 2011, has been constantly touring since, and has received numerous awards in Argentina for its direction, lighting, scenography, and acting. Sergio Boris's plays put the actor at the heart of an often-realistic scenography, which lets the atmosphere evolve naturally. Time is continuous, much like in cinematic long takes, allowing for the condensation of a wide range of human experiences. Preferring an accumulation of possible readings and interpretations—social, political, poetical—to the spelling out of an open conflict, Sergio Boris unveils the weight of the expectations, the dreams, the anxieties, and the desires that tie people together.
