His beginnings as a theater actor were within the cast of Carlos Brussa. In 1947 he joined the founding group of the Comedia Nacional, and remained a cast member until the day of his death, being one of its most important actors and directors.[1]


Acting & Directing


Candeau was also a celebrated theater actor, earning him multiple awards from the Circle of Critics, the Association of Theater Critics of Uruguay and the Casa Del Teatros. In Uruguay and Buenos Aires, his interpretation of Galileo Galilei is still remembered.[2]

In the cinema he participated in the Uruguayan films The Little Hero of the Arroyo de Oro and Ladrón de Sueños and the Argentines El Candida and Bloody Pleasure. Candeau also had incursions into the radio theater and television.[3]

He was also a prolific theater director, staging seventeen shows between 1955 and 1985, of which sixteen were shown through the Comedia Nacional, and one to El Galpón. Of these works, the Villa de Gardel by Víctor Manuel Leites, Processed 1040 by Juan Carlos Patron and Awakens and sings by Clifford Odets stand out. He also chaired the Bertolt Brecht House in Montevideo, through which he disseminated Brecht's works in different rooms in Uruguay.[4]

In 1980 he wrote the novel Every night is a premiere, co-authored with Carlos Mendive, about his experiences as an actor and theater director.[5]
