Albert Vidal Paz is without a doubt one of the great masters of the art of voice and movement. Recognized in Spain as one of the most important theater creators, at the beginning of the 90s in Europe he was presented, by the London Institute of Contemporary Arts, as Grand Master of European Performing Arts, amid unanimous acclaim from the critics .

His work is the result of a coherent line of interpretation inherited from three great contemporary masters: Jacques Lecoq, Dario Fo and Kazuo Ōno.

A multifaceted creator, throughout his professional career he has produced more than 65 works, among which we find visual theatre, performances in art galleries, short films, videos, photography works, concerts, etc. Many of his works have been presented in the most important festivals in Europe, Central America, the United States, Canada and Japan.

In text theater, he has worked in French for the Théâtre National Populaire under the direction of David Esrig; in the Italian language, as a stable actor of the Company of Dario Fo in Milan, and with Estabros Doufexis as a choreographer for the Stadt Theater of Bielefeld in Germany. Likewise, he has collaborated with the Mai Juku Company, by Min Tanaka, in the Plan B space in Tokyo.

As for the cinema, he has participated in more than twenty films and in several television productions. He has studied Topeng dance techniques in Bali, Butō in Japan and Borí possession in Niger. He has recorded the first telluric songs in India, in the north of the Iberian Peninsula and in Mongolia.

After 50 years at the spearhead of the avant-garde, Albert Vidal continues his tireless research work through his Telluric Art Laboratory, a genre created by himself at the beginning of the 90s.
