Stand Down

Ángel Fragua was born in Madrid in the same year as Cameron Diaz, Gwyneth Paltrow, Eminen or Catarina Furtado. He begins his theatrical studies in 1989 going through different schools until 1996. For two years he tries to enter the Real Escuela Superior de Arte Dramático in Madrid, but since he has difficulty speaking in public, he does not pass the interviews and is not accepted. During this time he participates as an actor and director in different amateur and professional groups. His time of glory comes between 1997 and 1999 working in the company YLLANA, where he performs humor shows without words in Germany, Switzerland, France, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, San Salvador and also in Tondela, Portugal. In 2000 he creates the company A Trancas y Barrancas and travels to Portugal to present the show VERTI-DOS. In 2001 he decides to stay in Portugal. He works at Jangada Teatro until 2003. In 2004 he founds Peripécia Teatro together with Noelia Domínguez and Sérgio Agostinho. Peripécia creates original shows that are presented in different Theaters and Festivals in Portugal, Spain, Brazil and Argentina. In 2017 Ángel is still on the road available to hitch a ride to a next adventure.
