Román Chalbaud
Nacimiento : 1931-10-10, Mérida, Venezuela
Historia
Autor teatral, cineasta y poeta venezolano. Sus obras se desarrollan en contextos sociales marginales y su búsqueda retrata, de forma áspera y tangible, el perfil de la Venezuela contemporánea. Sus personajes están dibujados con humor y podrían definirse como tipos, más que como arquetipos. En 1984 ganó el Premio Nacional de Teatro y en 1990 el de Cine. Caín adolescente (1955), Réquiem para un eclipse (1957) y Sagrado y obsceno (1961) son algunas de sus piezas teatrales más representativas. De su producción poética destaca Nosotros y el teatro, poema escrito en 1967 para celebrar la creación de El Nuevo Grupo, colectivo teatral con el que ha trabajado durante muchos años. Algunas de las obras que escribió hace más de 30 años, aún se representan hoy día y continúan siendo vigentes. Esto evidencia un estilo vanguardista que se presta a montajes imaginativos. Con su prosa poética tanto como con su experiencia vital, sigue presentando situaciones y elementos novedosos en el contexto del teatro latinoamericano.
