Entertainment, which allowed him to discover theatre life. During a
performance in an amphitheatre in front of more than a 1000 people, he
went on stage and decided that this was where he wanted to spend the

La Casona and began to study there. During his first year began to work

and ended up in hospital. This didn't stop him. In 2005 he enrolled in
the Teatro Estudio Victor Hernandez in Barcelona where he studied
interpretation for two years with the professor Panayotis Angelopoulus.
In this school he learned circus techniques, Clowning, Mime,
contemporary dance... His desire to develop his skills as a clown and
explore the child within led him to do a course with Jango Edwards. In
2007 after six months in Lanzarote working as an entertainer he decided
he wanted to know more about the world of interpretation. He decided to
go to Argentina for six months, to continue investigating the
profession. In Buenos Aires he didn't waste any time and did a variety
of courses, the most notable of which were with Professor Marcelo
