“He built us a house of fantasy and silence, humor and poetry, with a roof of love. He observed precisely and opens the door to amazement and admiration. A master!”

Dinah Hinz, Actress, Switzerland / Germany

The Actor

Carlos Martínez was born the 30th September, 1955 in Pravia (Asturias), Spain. At the age of 12, he moved to Barcelona and soon discovered his love for the dramatic arts while working in the neighborhood theater. He attended the pantomime school Taller de Mimo y Teatro Contemporáneo (1980), the performing arts school – El Timbal (1981) and studied under professors such as Manuel Carlos Lillo and Jorge Vera (1982 – 1987).

From 1982 onwards, Carlos Martínez has worked professionally as a mime actor creating a world of gestures that combines his Mediterranean spirit and humor with precise technique and rhythm. This very personal language has proved to be universal and has given him the freedom to perform not only throughout Spain but in the rest of Europe, Africa, Asia, North America and South America.
