Graduated in journalism from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), he began his training in writing at the London Guildhall University (London, Great Britain) in 1994. He is currently considered one of the most innovative and versatile voices in current national theater. The critics have defined the work of this author as multidisciplinary, eclectic and with a priority concern for the narrative structure and plot. His goal is always to tell stories and make them close to the viewer, using mechanisms of intrigue, comedy or melodrama, a fast pace, and even elements of other media, such as television, Internet and cinema.

​

His training as a journalist means that the playwright does not hesitate to choose current issues that generate the big headlines in the press: the war in Iraq, the Palestinian conflict, climate change, nationalism... they have all found a place in his works. The result is works of high political voltage ( The Burning Skin , The Taste of Ashes , The Swallow ) and epic dramas ( Marburg , Invasion ), but also musicals ( Killer , 73 raons per deixar-te ), theater shows- dance ( Death in Venice , In the desert ), adaptations of classics ( Iliad , La revoltosa ) and comedies ( Smiley , Al damunt dels nostres cants ).

​

His works have had an international trajectory. Clua was born in Barcelona, but has lived in London and New York, cities that have seen his texts represented and have notably influenced his writing style. His texts have been translated into English, German, Italian, French, Greek, Bulgarian and Serbo-Croatian, among other languages. The author also has extensive and recognized experience as a television scriptwriter and teacher dramatic writing. He has given workshops at Sala Beckett in Barcelona, the ESCAC film school and abroad.
