Esquius, who comes from a family deeply involved in theater in Súria, led a double professional life for ten years: acting and writing while working as an IT engineer specializing in Artificial Intelligence (AI). This technological background has become his personal hallmark as a playwright, offering an inquisitive and hilarious look at the immediate future.
Currently, the author has one play directed by him at Espai Texas and two more bearing his signature in a warehouse in Poblenou and at Versus Glòries. Despite his success, achieved after a well-known role in the TV3 series La Riera, Esquius remains cautious about career consolidation, noting that success in show business is often fleeting.
“"As long as you are not on television, you can kill yourself saying you are an actor, it is useless; for society, you are not."
Despite the difficulties facing the sector, which must now compete with digital offerings and is forced to reduce production costs, Esquius defends the current quality. He stressed that, although the era of great companies like Comediants or La Fura was different, Catalan dramaturgy is experiencing a golden age with more international exports than ever before.
“"Catalan dramaturgy is in a golden moment, and we are not sufficiently aware of it."
The author, who decided to leave IT to dedicate himself fully to creation, is concerned about the social impact of new technologies, especially loneliness and isolation. However, he sees theater—a sector that has been doing “the same thing for two thousand years”—as a potential refuge and an act of community against screen saturation.
