About 5ANGRYMen

Formed in the 90’s, 5ANGRYMen – Theatre Company quickly became renowned for their innovative and extraordinary stage design, and physically arduous performances. All of their performances place the ensemble at the beginning of an impossible theatrical task that must be completed. The phenomenon of the ‘task’ forms the core of the 5ANGRYMen creative practice. All audiences - of any background innately recognize what it is to attempt a task, to wrestle with it, to complete it successfully, or to fail in the attempt. This collective understanding is one that unites us as a species, and upon which the drama of our shows is carried. To attempt the impossible necessarily exposes the paradoxes of human nature: joy; grief; triumph; defeat; heroism; cowardice; the personal quest for power; relying on community and teamwork.

About Rodrigo Calderon

Born in El Salvador, Rodrigo Calderón Tobar has spent the last 17 years directing, teaching, performing, and exploring diverse movement-based forms that emphasize the body as a communicative and political tool. His work spans theatre productions, arts festivals, films, and educational projects across Argentina, Australia, El Salvador, Indonesia, India, Malaysia, Panama, and the United States. Early in his career, he collaborated with Salvadoran actor/director César Pineda, exploring the ritualistic nature of theatre — a pivotal experience that shaped his commitment to using the actor’s body as a means of creating ceremonial gatherings and fostering community. Rodrigo's practice integrates a wide range of movement forms, including Shamanic Trance Dance, Butoh, Baris dance, Chekhov's Technique, Gaga-Dance, Meyerhold's Biomechanics, and the Suzuki Method.

Currently based in Melbourne, Australia, he has been part of 5ANGRYMen for a long time now.
