I’m the son of a father and a mother original from Naples.
I was born and I grew up in Switzerland.
I trained at the renowned “Ernst Busch” Academy of Dramatic Arts in Berlin.
After successfully completing my acting studies, I became a member of the Basel theatre company under the artistic direction of Stefan Bachmann.
During this period, I worked with many notable directors of German-speaking theatre. Several of the company’s productions in which I was cast were invited to the Berliner Theatertreffen, while at the same time the Theater Basel was awarded the title of “Theatre of the Year”.
Theatre engagements in Bremen, Berlin, Hanover, Lucerne, Zurich, Klagenfurt and Rome followed.
I’m still working for theatre. At least once a year I have to go back on stage and feel home again.
And I really love being in front of a camera and work for film and television productions.
I already had the pleasure to work with such great directors as Sönke Wortmann, Bastian Pastewka, Markus Imboden and the Wachowski siblings – to name a few.
Since 2004, I had developed and produced several music shows, together with the musician and composer Henrik Kairies.
In 2012, I produced my first short film “Das Geheimnis der Nudelsuppe” (The Secret of the Noodle Soup), featuring Laura de Boer as the female lead. It was followed up by “I’m a Rolling Stone” in 2013.
In 2016, Kristina Spitzley and I founded the production company „cabirio productions“.
We produced the short movies “PLAY LOVE” (2015) and „Hollywater“ (2016).
Now the center of our work is the music-theatre-film-project “IMMACULATE”.
It is the story of Eros, a urban hero, who is obsessed to become the best lover ever.
And so he follows his desires to find out what is the right way to love and who has the power to decide it.
The individual?
The society?
Or perhaps a God?
For further informations about this exciting, funny and touching story with a lots of music –
please visit our
or my
Last but not least, I grew up with movies of Fellini, De Sica and Wertmüller. Later I had a german, a Brecht-acting-education. So today I call myself a bastard! A man, a performer, an actor with a mix of different influences who speaks all kind of languages while he’s acting.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Best wishes
Roberto

»DEAD MAN’S BLUFF«
by Mikhail Volokhov, Tagesanzeiger
»Due to their superb acting and the seesaw of their emotions, Roberto Guerra and Björn Freiberg hold their audience spellbound throughout the show … By their nuanced performance, which undulates between reality and ripping yarn, they bring the audience to the edge of their seats, generating almost unbearable suspense… «
»KISS ME, PRINCE – AN EVENING OF SONGS«
Basler Zeitung
» … then suddenly Roberto Guerra – whose performance with the excellent Basel ensemble has been a real eye-catcher from the start – enters the stage and dominates the action from that moment on. Be it the rock track “Fire”, the classic “I Put A Spell On You”, reinterpreted by Guerra and the wonderful Bettina Stucky in a stunning duet, or the Udo Jürgens hit song “Und Immer Wieder Geht Die Sonne Auf”, in the course of this entertaining, intelligent show, Guerra delivers highlight after highlight.«
»THE SATIN SLIPPER«
by Paul Claudel, Süddeutsche Zeitung
»This production is an event. An eight-hour theatre marathon featuring outstanding actors: Maria Schrader, Sebastian Blomberg, Josef Ostendorf, Silvia Fenz, Jens Albinus, Peter Kern, Traugott Buhre, Roberto Guerra … Guerra plays Doña Isabel – bored, frustrated, decadent, disappointed in love – a touching performance.«
»GILGAMESCH AND ENKIDU«
Berliner Zeitung
» … Roberto Guerra’s performance of Enkidu as a boisterous nature boy is vigorous, forceful and compelling.«
»THE LITTLE WITCH«
Basler Zeitung
» It is to the Theater Basel’s great credit that unlike other theatres, it does not misapply this fairy-tale production as a training ground for young talents, but employs some of its best actors in it: Bruno Cathomas, Jürg Kienberger and Roberto Guerra.«

» THE UMBILICAL CORD WRAPPED THREE TIMES AROUND THE NECK«
»I thought the show was great. I really liked the approach, to oppose the Italian pathos against humor, but also against something abstract, unassailable and vulnerable.
Very special and artistic. I liked the song selection. For example the song “chameleon” written by Guerra and Kairies is great. It is vocalized in German, and reminds me of the 80s NDW music.
The philosophical text is about the age where “everything is possible” vs. social compulsion to conformism. The fact that the two used this song within their program highlights that again, making it a programmatic announcement, and thereby it fits then again to the others.
Here the writer slips in the role of the self-liberating man, grown-up, flawed, not perfect, but cheerful, life affirming, adventurous, all by himself and with the great desire to talk about it. An inspiring invitation to “La Dolce Vita” in a modern form. « – Comment on facebook
»ONE N!GHT STAND / LOVESONGS«
»Guerra’s acting proficiency, his charismatic raspy, gravelly singing voice, his energised stage presence and above all his comic talent guarantee that this night full of crooning love songs does not lapse into kitsch. While a lot of soul, heartache and sex are resonating through the evening, Guerra always adds a little pinch of tongue-in-cheek irony to his show. He does not merely sing – he personifies his songs with his incessantly flailing, twitching body. … Guerra’s congenial German counterpart, the exceptional musical talent Henrik Kairies, joins him onstage, indulging in wonderfully hilarious verbal duels with Guerra. It’s a brilliant one-and-a-half-hour firework display!« – Kölnische Rundschau
»Guerra romps the stage dancing and singing like dervish. The duo’s music and comedy show never ceases to surprise, changing styles and breaking taboos. Guerra takes his audience on intricate paths through multilayered pitfalls and misunderstandings. In the process, the spectators are never excluded for a minute. Instead, they are invited to lose themselves in an emotional maze along with the leading man. With feverishly erotic versions of familiar and lesser-known love songs, Guerra presents his guests with an evening full of surprises..« – Darmstädter Echo
»STRAPPARE UNA LACRIMA«
»With their show STRAPPARE UNA LACRIMA, Guerra and Kairies revive the days of summer! A wonderful evening full of Italian pop, love and rock songs. One is tempted to treat oneself to this show all over again. Made to melt your heart away!« — Basler Zeitung
» … Guerra, who was raised in Switzerland and speaks German as perfectly as he does Italian and French, masters the art of twisting his audience around his little finger. And when talking to himself in the role of Marcello Mastroianni, Sophia Loren, Silvio Berlusconi or Carla Bruni, the consummate actor blazes forth. … He reaps the benefits from his high-quality training at the Ernst Busch Academy of Dramatic Arts, his many years in theatre and his work for cinema and television. Charm, esprit and acting proficiency form an essential part of the show.« – Neues Deutschland
