Patricio Ruiz
Guest 24/25
Patricio Ruiz (Azul, Buenos Aires, Argentina) works as a writer, performer and director. He is graduated in Dramaturgy at EMAD (Metropolitan Dramatic Art School of Buenos Aires) and Art Program at Torcuato Di Tella University. He creates pieces and objects for museums and scenography, sings in the band Putite de Mamá and hosts at clubs in different cities. But his main practice is weaving universes in order to find bridges between materialities, especially in literature where he mixes archives, biographies, fantasy and voices of the queer communities and those existences that inhabit the edges of a world in constant ending. He considers writing as a movement. From the pandemic on he has been involved in dancing and performing practices in order to move poetry, its rhythm and what he considers the words’ choreography, that gives dynamic to "all those things that need to be outspoken in front of strangers". He has received multiple awards in playwriting like the 1st prize of Fondo Nacional de las Artes, Estímulo Todos los tiempos el tiempo and Potencia y Política from the National Congress of Argentina. He has been edited, translated and premiered worldwide.
