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 2011, 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.

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.
