PEPE RUBIANES: A GENIUS, A FREE MAN

José Rubianes Alegret, better known as Pepe Rubianes (2 September 1947 - 1 March 2009) was a Spanish actor and theater director, born in Galicia and brought up in Catalonia, specializing in mime, imitation and monologues. 

He was known for his irony, his sharp sense of humor and verbal torrents sprinkled with swear words, and rigorously dressing in black clothes when acting in dramatic scenes. 

He defined himself as a "Galician-Catalan actor: Galician because I was born in Galicia although I hardly ever lived there, and Catalan because I have always lived in Catalonia although I was never born here."

He used to act both in Castilian and in Catalan, but most often performed in both languages at once, alternating unexpectedly, introducing odd sentences in Galician.

Pepe died in Barcelona after offering lots of good performances and years of commitment and defence of free opinion.

Pepe had lots of skills. One of them was his facility to speak English. You can check it in this video (minute 1:55:00).


Our world is a world of bored rich people.
