Encounters

CASA presents a series of three hour encounters entitled “Questions of Representation”, especially curated to foster dialogue, create links between disciplines and discover together more about the broader socio-economic trends underlying the practice of making theatre in Latin America.

Each encounter is an investigation into some of the themes explored in this year’s programme and takes its point of departure from one or more of this year’s shows. Free-form and multidisciplinary, we will bring together performers, speakers, writers, artists, academics and philosophers to explore each theme in detail, with the aim of beginning to unpack the complexities of each one and questioning art’s importance in the wider social and creative order.

All three encounters are open to all. The more we are, the merrier. This year’s themes are: Indigenous Narratives in Latin American Theatre and Culture, The Portrayal of Women in Latin American Theatre and Culture, and Violence in Latin American Theatre and Culture.
