Tommaso Taddei was born in Florence in 1978. He began his acting career, after having attended some seminars with Ugo Chiti and Dimitri Frosali, in 1995 when with the Krypton company he participated in the Berlin festival “Instantactsagainstviolence and racism” in the theatrical performance “Interkunst”. From here his long collaboration with the Krypton company began, he acted in “La via del sexo” (1996) with Massimo Verdastro and Elena Trimarchi and in “Perduto Pinocchio” (2014).
In 1998, together with other young actors, he founded the Gogmagog theatre research group, which since 2000 has been a stable company at the Teatro Studio in Scandicci and recognised by the Tuscany Region. With Gogmagog, on the one hand, he has carried out independent research work focused mainly on the work of the actor and on dramaturgy, privileging original writing (he is the author of “Follia Morale”, “Azione peste 0”, “Felix”, “Inaus”) and contemporary authors (S.Beckett, E.Bond, Howard Barker), on the other hand he has sought comparison and collaboration with other artists from various disciplines, Bobo Rondelli (voice in “Quella volta TeatroII”), Simone Cristicchi (acts in the shows/concerts “CIM” and “Lettere da un Manicomio”), Graziano Staino (video and clip).
Since 2009, a fruitful collaboration has begun with Egumteatro and with the director and author Virginio Liberti (actor in “Questo sera si recita la nostra fine”, “Quanto mi piace uccidere”, “Non è quello che sembra”; director of Liberti’s texts “Scherzo ma non troppo” and “Matrimonio segreto”).
Since 2002 he has collaborated with Alfonso Santagata and the Katzenmacher company (“Possibilities”, Esterni scespiari, “Calibano l’affarista”).
He acts in numerous films (“Il pugno di Gesù” by S. Jager; “Il segreto degli alberi” by A. Tofanelli) and video clips by Litfiba, Aftehours, Marco Parente. He also acts in theatre productions for children; in 2013 Gogmagog co-produced with Giallo Mare Minimal Teatro “Mappamito”.
Since 2008 he has led theatre and actor training workshops, first within the CRF School of the Catalyst Company, then for the Giallo Mare Minimal Teatro company.
