The Performance Studies Research Group and the CLTC
present a Latin American Drama Conference focusing
on the works of Argentinean playwright Griselda Gambaro. The
conference will include graduate work on Gambaro's
plays and a staged reading of INFORMATION FOR FOREIGNERS.
One of Latin America's most important and prolific
writers, Griselda Gambaro has focused on the dynamics
of repression, complicity, and violence--specifically,
the terror of violent regimes and their devastating
effects on the moral framework of society. INFORMATION
FOR FOREIGNERS is a drama of disappearance, an experimental
work dealing with the theme of random and meaningless
punishment in which the audience is led through darkened
passageways to a series of nightmarish tableaux.
Sponsored by the Consortium for Literature, Theory & Culture
