Erika Rodríguez Horrillo was born in Eibar (Basque Country) on 19 January 1992. She studied for a bachelor's degree in English philology and literature at the University of Salamanca.[2] She studied for a degree in theatre and drama at the Ánima Eskola School of Drama with Marina Shimanskaya.[3] She later completed a master of letters (MLitt) in theatre studies at the University of Glasgow.[4][5] She completed her thesis on the influence of the Scottish stage director Giles Havergal in the Citizens Theatre (Glasgow) and in the Scottish theatre.[6]

Rodríguez began in the Teatro Lunatico theatre company at the University of Salamanca, performing different works directed by Catalina García García-Herreros.[2][7] She is currently a member of the Narruzko Zezen theatre company of Eibar,[8][9][10] a company that has included actors such as Imanol Arias and Iñaki Miramón.[11][12][13]

In 2015, she performed the play Impossible Dialogues, a theatrical production at the Campos Elíseos Theatre, directed by Russian actress and stage director Marina Shimanskaya, based on the works The Seagull, The Cherry Orchard and Three Sisters by Anton Chejov and on the poetry of Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, together with Carmen Climent, Nerea Elizalde, Lorea Lyons and Ane Inés Landeta, among other cast members.[3]

In 2016, Rodríguez participated as a dramaturg in the celebration of the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare, coordinated by Anselm Heinrich, in a joint event between the University of Glasgow, the Scottish Symphony Orchestra, the Glasgow School of Art (GSA) and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (RCS), to create a stage performance based on works by Shakespeare.[5]

As a member of the Narruzko Zezen theatre company, she has been a dramaturg and scenographer in different theatre productions such as The comedy of Carla and Luisa (2019), Isabelita the sky-watcher (2018) or Lost objects (2016), under the direction of stage directors such as Manolo Murillo or Juan Ortega.[14][15]

In 2021, she was chosen as host/presenter of the 44th Eibar Theatre Festival, an international theatre festival held annually in the city of Eibar and held at the Coliseo Theatre (Eibar), and in that edition had the presence of well-known artists such as the actress Ane Gabarain or the director Fernando Bernués.[16][17][18][19][20][21][22]
