Steven Berkoff

    3 de agosto de 1937

    Steven Berkoff es un actor, escritor y director inglés, reconocido por sus intensas interpretaciones. Sus primeras obras dramáticas, profundamente arraigadas en adaptaciones de Kafka, exploran paisajes psicológicos de pesadilla y cultivan una inquietante sensación de alienación. Berkoff fue pionero más tarde en un estilo distintivo conocido como 'total theatre', caracterizado por su cruda intensidad física y su estética confrontacional. Los críticos describen su obra como 'directa a la cara', capaz de provocar reacciones extremas en el público debido a su poder visceral y su exploración inquebrantable de temas difíciles.
