Alejandro Tantanian (Buenos Aires, 1966) is a playwright, director, actor, and curator. A central figure in contemporary Argentine theatre, his work articulates poetry, music, and theatrical thought in a quest that dismantles the boundaries between text, body, and politics. As director of the Teatro Nacional Cervantes (2017–2020), he spearheaded a profound institutional renewal based on diversity, federalism, and experimentation. His work—presented in Latin America and Europe—positions him as one of the most relevant creators of his generation, capable of conceiving theatre as a space for aesthetic and ethical reflection on the present.

His recent works include: Máquina teatro (Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires - MAMBA, Buenos Aires, 2025); En mitad de tanto fuego (Buenos Aires, 2025); Esto es teatro. Once escenas experimentales del Di Tella al Parakultural (MAMBA, Buenos Aires, 2025); Dulce pájaro de juventud (Montevideo, 2025); El trágico reinado de Eduardo II, la triste muerte de su amado Gaveston, las intrigas de la reina Isabel y el ascenso y caída del arrogante Mortimer (Teatro San Martín, Buenos Aires, 2024/2025); Ernest y Victoria (Geneva, 2024); Tengo miedo torero (Milan, 2024); El corazón del daño (Madrid-Buenos Aires-Angers, 2023/2024/2025); L7L – Die sieben Irren (Munich, 2022); Theodora (Teatro Colón, Buenos Aires, 2021).
