Actual Argentores vice-secretary

“A theatre man”, is the definition he prefers.

“ He is a born expressionist”. It is true, all his productions are tinged with expressionism.

He is an unrepentant constructor “He is always planning, projecting new enterprises. He always justifies himself saying: “Projecting is dreaming,  who can imagine an artist who doesn’t dream?.

For more than thirty years he has devoted to the theatre and has deal with several theatrical disciplines.

As a playwright, he has put on 30 plays, both in Argentina and in other countries.

He has been an active member of Argentores (Nº 4082), since 1969.

As a dramatist, he has directed more than  100  plays.

For the last thirty years, he has been helping thousands of pupils improve their acting skills..

As an actor, he appeared in theatre, television and very seldom in the cinema.

 Fifteen  years ago he started developing a new skill: scenoplastics. He designs the scenography, the stage costumes,  masks and light effects of his performances.

He delivers conferences, talks and organizes workshops in the provinces and abroad. He is an untiring “facilitator” managing successfully actors groups who recognize his talent.  

He is known by many people as “The Turk Ben Hassan”. He feels he is a compulsive traveller because since his youth he has enjoyed sharing his artistic productions with all kinds of spectators in a non-conventional style, just as Federico García Lorca does in “La Barraca” (The Baracks), who together with Bertold Brecht and Federico Fellini have always been his great masters.

Without doubt, visiting the page of GBH, you will discover an amazing drama creator.        

“His teachers had always advised him that being independent, free, and  autonomous would cause him trouble, specially working in a non-conformist way. He would not be recognized officially and consequently not receive the economic support needed for his projects.”

“He  always knew that freedom  has high costs, he assumed this with courage and the results he obtained were the rewards of a life of dedication. He took the hard way, coherence and ethics. He was always faithful to his beliefs, never ignoring treachery. Like all men of iron convictions, things were not easy. You may disagree with him but, for sure, it can never be said that GBH is not a passionate professional, who makes the most of his creative qualities with honesty and seriousness. This has been proved today…”
