Clásicos Americanos: Connecting Hispanic Theater across the Hemisphere
UCLA’s Diversifying the Classics (DTC), under the direction of Barbara Fuchs will partner with Karina Galperín at the Universidad Torcuato di Tella (UTDT) in Argentina and Gabriela Villanueva at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) to explore how Hispanic classical theater has been received across Latin America, in different periods and under specific local conditions. Via collaborations with Argentine theatermakers, we will delve into the ways these histories shape contemporary adaptations of comedia and new dramaturgies. The project will commission new productions, convene scholars for symposia at each institution, and result in a comparative edited volume.
