Biography
editBorn in 1954 in Brittany to Catalan antifascist parents exiled and opposed by the regime of Francisco Franco, Montserrat found solace in the theatre in his childhood. In Chile, during the reign of Augusto Pinochet, he took action against the dictatorship's misdeeds and produced approximately forty works on the topic. Upon his return to France in 1992, he continued to write and service himself to those oppressed by authoritarian dictators.
Since 2006, Montserrat wrote about the Popular Front, extreme violence, and utopian happiness. In 2010, he launched a series of works on the dark history of Nord-Pas-de-Calais, published by Éditions Baleine and covered by La Voix du Nord, L'Avenir de l'Artois, Nord éclair, and France Télévisions. He was associated with the Société des Auteurs et Compositeurs Dramatiques, the Société des gens de lettres, and others.
Ricardo Montserrat died in Concepción, Chile on 18 October 2020 at the age of 66.
