Àlex Ollé

Who is Àlex Ollé?

Àlex Ollé is one of the six artistic directors of La Fura dels Baus, one of the most innovative and prestigious theatre companies on the international scene, which was founded in 1979 and has been characterised from the start by the search for its own language in which public participation is key for developing the show. Prominent works from its early period include Accions, Suz/O/Suz, Tier Mon, Noun and MTM, which established La Fura dels Baus as a top company among both critics and the public.

In collaboration with Carlus Padrissa, Ollé created and directed Mediterrani, mar olímpic, the epicentre of the opening ceremony of the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, an event that fascinated and left a mark on millions of viewers around the world.

Since then, Ollé’s theatrical career has been characterised by different genres, creating and directing plays, operas and large-format shows for different commemorations and events, always with the mark of his own personal language and that of the company he founded.
