Roger Bernat
Roger Bernat is a Catalan playwright (Barcelona, ​​1968). His work has been characterized as participatory or immersive theater. The Sebastià Gasch Prize in 2017 is one among the rewards he has received.

1996-2007
He initiated studies of architecture before switching to theater. He studied theatre direction and dramaturgy at the Institut del Teatre de Barcelona where he graduated with the Extraordinary Prize of 1996. In 1997 he founded General Elèctrica with Tomàs Aragay, among others, a Center of Theater and Dance that was closed in 2001. He has directed and created theatrical projects including 10,000 kg (Premi Especial de la Crítica 96/97); Confort Domèstic (Premi de la Crítica al Text Dramàtic 97/98), Àlbum, Trilogia 70, Bones intencions, Bona gent, LA LA LA LA LA, Amnèsia de Fuga o Tot és perfecte.

2008
In 2008, he began to create shows in which the audience occupy the stage and become the protagonist: "spectators go through a device that invites them to obey or conspire and, in any case, to pay with their own body and commit themselves." Some of these shows are Domini públic (2008), Pura coincidència (2009), The rite of spring (2010), Please, Continue: Hamlet (2011), Pending vote (2012), Desplazamiento del Palacio de la Moneda ( 2014), Numax-Fagor-plus (2014) or We need to talk (2015).
