He studied mathematics and economics at the University of Barcelona and graduated with a master's degree in cinema from École Supérieure d'Audiovisuel de Toulouse in 1997, but became interested in dance after meeting c*ographers and directors. In 2002, he joined a dance company, working under the c*ographer Gilles Jobin. In 2003 Rigal founded his own Compagnie Dernière Minute. He c*ographed and produced his first pieces, érection (2003), and Arrêts de Jeu (2006) in collaboration with the director Aurélien Bory.
