Josep Ramon Cerdà is an author and theatre director. 

(The author explains at http://contextoteatral.es)
I like to put myself at the service of an idea. Whether it is mine or not is secondary. That's why I'm interested in dramaturgy to adapt classic texts that I'm passionate about (I've done it with Vania, An Enemy of the People, Hamlet, Frankenstein...) to the point that it's hard for me not to consider it at the same level as theatrical writing. When I write without commissions or preconceived structures, I tend to deal with universal themes (the passage of time, the struggle for power, ethical limits...) but always from the perspective of the intimate conflict of a few characters. I'm interested, as an author and as a spectator, in the theatre that makes you doubt, that touches you in some way and doesn't leave you impassive, although I don't like to test the patience of the spectator. I think I work for the actors, the director and the audience. All of them, I think, are the accomplices of the stories I want to tell.
