My current research centers on a constellation of theatre artists among the so-called “Argentines of Paris,” whose work has been presented mostly in Buenos Aires and Paris between the 1960s and now. I focus on Argentine playwright Copi, directors Jorge Lavelli, Jérôme Savary, actor/directors Alfredo Arias and Marcial Di Fonzo Bo, their companies, the theatres where they became artistic directors, and festivals that commissioned and hosted their performances. These artists are often associated in terms of repertoire staged or guest appearances in each others’ theatres and create a fascinating network that I explore within the theoretical framework of Bruno Latour’s Actor-Network Theory.
