Awards and recognition

[edit]

In 2013, he won theNational Dramatic Literature Award of Spain, with his playLa lengua en pedazos.[10]

In 2016, he was awarded the XIIIEurope Prize Theatrical Realities, inCraiova,[11] with the following motivation:

Mayorga is a playwright. His work has crossed national boundaries to become established in major European theatres. A regular collaborator with theatre companies such asAnimalario, he has also worked as an adaptor and dramatist for theCentro Dramático Nacional and theCompañía Nacional de Teatro Clasíco. When Mayorga writes his plays he “hears” the reaction of the audience. His plays question the audience, inviting them to adopt a position. The reader/spectator is always asked to “re-create” the meaning (or a meaning) of what happens on stage. This is not a provocation by the author but the audience’s judgement surfacing as the play unfolds. His plays have been shown in 18 countries and translated into 16 languages.[12]

He won the 2022Princess of Asturias Award for Literature.[13]

Personal life

[edit]

Mayorga is married and has three children.
