PROJECTS
The projects presented here move across documentary, live performance, public space and cultural history, connecting Europe and Latin America through film, theatre, literature and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Shakespeare remains a central presence throughout much of this work — not simply as a literary figure from the past, but as an ongoing way of thinking about power, identity, ambition, desire and cultural memory in the contemporary world.
Developed across theatres, cathedrals, archives, public institutions and historically charged spaces, these projects explore how performance, image and narrative can create new ways of encountering history within the present.
SCREEN
Documentary and audiovisual projects exploring Shakespeare, literature, visual culture and historical narratives through cinematic form.
In 2019, Orozco founded Yorick Entertainment in London, developing documentary and television projects connecting theatre, literature and contemporary culture for international audiences.
Projects include Will’s Book: Shakespeare’s First Folio, broadcast on SKY ARTS UK and AMC America, with international distribution in more than forty countries through TVF International. Narrated by Greg Doran and Professor Emma Smith, the documentary explores the cultural and historical significance of Shakespeare’s First Folio, featuring contributions from leading scholars including Sir Stanley Wells, Professor Tiffany Stern, Professor Paul Edmondson and Professor Emma Smith.
Other works include Harold Bloom: The Last Interview, capturing the final reflections of literary critic Harold Bloom, and From the West End, broadcast by AMC America and distributed internationally as in-flight entertainment.
Current projects include Give Way to Design, a documentary tracing the history of road signage in the United Kingdom, from Roman milestones to the contemporary British landscape. The film explores the legacy of designers Jock Kinneir and Margaret Calvert, alongside the continuing influence of British road signage on public space, design and cultural identity.
PERFORMANCE
Stage works, readings and live performances engaging with Shakespeare, theatre, poetry and historically resonant spaces.
As director and producer, Orozco has staged productions including Hamlet, Macbeth, Richard III, Antony and Cleopatra and Cardenio, introducing Shakespeare’s lost play to Latin American audiences for the first time.
Additional projects include Shakespeare’s Women, Borges and Shakespeare, Shakespeare, García Lorca y Hamlet and The Rape of Lucrece, exploring the relationship between Shakespeare and broader literary, musical and cultural traditions.
The 2018 production of Hamlet in Argentina became the country’s production with the highest number of consecutive sold-out performances that year, while Shakespeare’s Women, created in collaboration with the Uruguayan Symphonic Orchestra, expanded this exploration through music and live performance.
In February 2026, Orozco directed The Rape of Lucrece for the Venice Shakespeare Company in Venice.
PUBLIC PROJECTS
Festivals, cultural initiatives and site-specific works developed across public institutions, historic spaces and international collaborations.
Orozco is the founder and director of Festival Shakespeare Buenos Aires, established in 2011 as the first dedicated Shakespeare festival in Latin America. Presented annually since its creation, the festival has developed performances, screenings, educational programmes and public events across theatres, parks, cultural institutions and historic spaces, becoming one of the region’s leading Shakespearean platforms.
Alongside Festival Shakespeare Buenos Aires, he directed Festival Beckett Buenos Aires for more than a decade, creating one of Latin America’s most significant public platforms dedicated to the work and legacy of Samuel Beckett.
Between 2014 and 2024, Orozco also directed Festival del Humor de Buenos Aires, an international festival exploring comedy, satire and performance across theatre, literature and popular culture.
In 2013, he created Teatro Shakespeare, a temporary Elizabethan-style theatre presented in public parks across Buenos Aires, offering immersive productions and open-air performances inspired by Renaissance staging traditions.
Since 2014, Orozco has also directed Festival Shakespeare en la Escuela, an annual educational initiative developed in collaboration with schools and teachers, introducing Shakespeare to younger audiences through performance, literature and creative workshops.
In 2014, Orozco created the Shakespeare Prize, recognising artists, scholars and cultural figures whose work has contributed to the continuing presence of Shakespeare in contemporary culture. Recipients have included Judi Dench, Kenneth Branagh, Peter Brook, Tom Stoppard and Harold Bloom, among others.
Further projects include Festival Shakespeare Uruguay in Montevideo, educational initiatives through Fundación Romeo, and site-specific cultural works developed across Latin America and Europe.
Special projects have also included San Martín en Europa, an immersive digital reconstruction of José de San Martín’s residence in Boulogne-sur-Mer using Matterport technology, developed to preserve and expand public access to the historic site.
Other public initiatives include Aldea Medieval, an interdisciplinary cultural event combining historical reenactment, live performance, workshops and educational programming inspired by medieval history and popular traditions.
WRITING
Books, translations, essays and research projects exploring theatre, literature, performance and cultural history.
Orozco is the author of the first Spanish-language biography of Samuel Beckett, published by Argentina’s National Theatre Institute.
His forthcoming book, Shakespeare’s Index: An A–Z Companion to People and Characters (2026), brings together more than 1,000 figures connected to Shakespeare’s world and legacy — from characters, actors and critics to writers, artists and cultural figures shaped by his influence across centuries.
He also translated and adapted the Spanish-language edition of Manga Shakespeare: Hamlet, bringing Shakespeare’s work to younger audiences through contemporary visual storytelling.
Alongside his books and editorial work, he has contributed articles, criticism and essays to Argentine and international cultural publications, writing on theatre, literature and Shakespeare in performance.
His writing and research have also informed lectures, public conversations and workshops presented in collaboration with institutions including Université Sorbonne, Universidad Di Tella and the British Art Centre.
