Abstract

The Caracas Festival, held annually each April, is global in scope, but much of its attention is devoted to Latin American theatre. The term “Latin American theatre” most accurately describes a geographical phenomenon, rather than a generic one. Latin American groups at the Festival represented as wide a variety of artistic concerns, theories and techniques as exists anywhere. Their presentations ranged from a relatively traditional Spanish language production of Chekhov’s Three Sisters (Uruguay) to a street mime show with strong political content from Ecuador. Significantly, Latin American theatre people consider themselves to be involved in the evolution of an aesthetic that responds to and reflects the cultural, social and political realities of Latin American life.
