Biografía. / Biography.

Sergio Martínez Vila is a playwright, theater director, and filmmaker. He holds a degree in Audiovisual Communication from the Complutense University of Madrid and also studied Film Directing at ECAM. After a period of teaching at the Cervantes Institute in New Delhi (India), where he taught Spanish language, he returned to Madrid to devote himself fully to writing and stage/audiovisual creation. He has been awarded grants from Sala Cuarta Pared, Fundación SGAE, INAEM, and the Centro Dramático Nacional, where two of his plays have also premiered. His texts have also been performed at Teatro Español and at festivals such as Surge (Madrid), Tercera Setmana (Valencia), Be Festival (Birmingham), and Scènes d'Europe (Reims). His first feature film, La espera, premiered in official competition at the Abycine Festival (2015) and at Sala Berlanga in Madrid. He also collaborates on various multidisciplinary projects, including his work as a dramaturg with Colectivo Fango and his participation as a dance playwright in the European project Performing Gender: Dance Makes Differences.

«When he writes, I feel like he becomes a cog in a bigger machine. He lends his voice and his words to things that reach him from elsewhere, in a magical process that give his works a certain hint of revelation; he is an evangelist of violence, a prophet of the cruelties that reside within us; a loud and revealing orator of the things that we don’t want to say ourselves, which he suggests should be sang from the stage. He’s never complacent and always challenges us. He takes us to the gates of hell and dissects that which is evident. We don’t escape unharmed from his texts or his representations. Sergio places a mirror in front of us, encouraging us to discover our most terrible blemishes. Each of his works is a well; a quagmire of the modern world and the miseries of the human soul. I try my best to refrain from using the word “soul”, but Sergio’s writing is certainly associated with it, from the apocryphal and the obscene, as if he were a mystic of the 21st century.» (Paco Gámez, taken from the prologue to “No temáis. Yo vencí al mundo”).

Escritura. / Style.

«Creo que cuando él escribe se convierte en una pieza de un engranaje más grande. Presta su voz y su palabra a cosas que le llegan de otro lugar en un proceso mágico que hace que sus historias tengan algo de revelación, es un evangelista de la violencia, un profeta de las crueldades que nos habitan, un oráculo revelador de lo que no queremos decir en voz alta y que él propone cantar en los escenarios. Nunca es complaciente, siempre nos confronta. Nos arrastra al averno, disecciona lo evidente. No saldremos ilesos de su lectura ni de sus representaciones. Y es que Sergio nos coloca un espejo delante para que veamos nuestras manchas más terribles. Cada obra suya es un pozo, una ciénaga del mundo contemporáneo, de las miserias del alma humana. Alma es una palabra que me da pudor escribir, pero creo que lo que escribe Sergio tiene que ver con eso, con el alma, desde lo apócrifo y lo obsceno, como si fuera un místico del siglo XXI.» (Paco Gámez, extraído del prólogo de "No temáis. Yo vencí al mundo").
