José Triana
Cuban playwright José Triana chronicles not only his own personal story but also the development of Cuban theatre from the 1930s until 1980 when in self-imposed exile he left Cuba for Paris
Latin America
Latin America:The poor relative in US drama schools Joanne Pottlitzer When, as an adjunct, I taught courses in Latin American plays in the 1990s at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and Yale's School of Drama, I was the first person in the field to be hired. Courses on Latin American plays in theatre departments were (and still are) not common. The NYU job materialized because the head of the undergraduate theatre program was a former director of Th…

Reflections on the Chilean Theatre
Generally, the person least equipped to talk about any Latin American cultural activity is a Latin American. Each of our countries is an isolated island arrogantly disparaging every other country. We are not a continent. We are an archipelago: nineteen cases of nationalism and of an astute reactionary politics which divides and exalts the small differences that separate us. Any Chilean or Argentine writer is perfectly familiar with the roster of …

Theatre & Culture
At a 1967 symposium in Montreal, I, along with other colleagues, had to answer the question: “What kind of theatre should we do?” Throughout almost my entire professional life, I have been asked that same question and with each new stage of my life I responded differently. But when I heard it in that foreign country, where the only thing familiar to us Latin Americans were the Indian reservations, I suddenly felt I was on another planet, stunned.…

Beginning at Zero
Like every other culture in this technologydominated world, Brazilian culture shows the influence of cinema. Film arbitrates life-styles, activates the imagination with its fantasies, and shapes moral life. Yet it is impossible to speak of the cinema in its Brazilian context without referring to North American film, whose influence and aggressiveness distributes North American culture throughout the world so that audiences now expect from all fil…
A Note on Brazilian Agitprop
In 1963, during the Cuban crisis, several playwrights in Rio de Janeiro called a meeting to write a script: The Blockade of Intervention: An Indictment. The following afternoon some students, workers, and artists from the Popular Center of Culture of the National Student Union rehearsed the script hurriedly, and performed it that night before a large crowd gathered in front of the Municipal Theatre in the heart of the city. The play opened twenty…
