Abstract
In this chapter, Puerto Rican theatre director and drama professor Rosa Luisa Márquez (1947) shares her experiences teaching and collaborating with theater groups in Puerto Rico and the United States, such as Teatreros Ambulantes de Cayey, Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre, and Pregones Theater, and her work’s decisive influence in the careers of numerous Latin American and Latinx actors. Interviewed by Priscila Melendez and Aníbal González, Rosa Luisa describes her studies at Michigan State University and NYU and her collaboration throughout her career with major international dramatists, theater directors, and collectives such as the Argentine Osvaldo Dragún, the Brazilian Augusto Boal, the Colombian La Candelaria troupe, the Danish Odin Teatret, the Ecuadorian Malayerba collective, the Peruvian Yuyachkani group, and the USA collective Bread & Puppet Theater. Concepts such as Boal’s “Theatre of the Oppressed,” street theatre, protest theatre puppetry, masks, and music are key elements of Rosa Luisa’s work as a teatrera (a theatre person), as she prefers to define herself.
