Paco Mir

Paco Mir

November 15, 1957 (67 years old) in Barcelona, Spain

I was born in ’57 and they immediately saw that I was male and that they would have to call me Francisco, which was the traditional thing to do in the Mir branch of the family. As a child I went through a stage of “Currito” (to differentiate myself from my father, who was called Curro) and even a “Currito de Oro” which, years later I took advantage of, using the name as an alias of a character who was a bullfighter. Finally everyone agreed and they called me Paco. I was going to be a Fine Arts student (although I really wanted to draw comic strips) when I happened to stumble upon the performing arts and, today, after kicking stages around the world for almost 40 years, creating eight works with Tricicle, writing a lot, winning two Max awards, producing several television series, creating advertising campaigns and adapting and directing (with some success) more than fifty theater, zarzuela and opera titles, I still have the feeling that I am in the show business by sheer chance. I never stopped drawing just in case.
