He was called “Enfant Terrible” by the international press.He studied arts in Argentina and Europe.Author, director and actor Rodrigo M. Malmsten, 28 years, was born in Buenos Aires.
His first opera “KLEINES HELNWEIN”, which he wrote and also directed himself, was awarded several prizes. It was inspired by the works of the painter Gottfried Helnwein; some of Helnwein´s paintings are shown in the opera by means of visual projections.Although the main topic of the play is the sexual abuse of children, in a more general way it deals with all the evils of nowadays societies, such as racism, nazism, and fascism. These evils are proof for the ability of human beings to convert into predators.
The play was qualified as “fascinating and repulsive” by the press. This play and his other works depict Rodrigo M. Malmsten as an individualistic young artist, with a pessimistic and apocalyptical vision of the world. He strongly disapproves of the way the government of his country deals with culture.
He thus did not have the possibility to work there any longer, and had to emigrate to Europe to go on with his work, and now lives in Brussels.
