New multidisciplinary performing arts productions have debuted across Latin America, spanning circus, theater, and immersive experiences. In Chile and Mexico, recent debuts include the contemporary circus production ‘Sismo’ in Chile, produced by Colectivo Artístico Circo Virtual in co-production with GAM. In Mexico, Circo Atayde has debuted at Foro Boca, blending traditional circus with contemporary theater. Additional Mexican developments include artist Valentina Díaz presenting ‘La medida del acto y el milagro del gesto’ at Laboratorio Arte Alameda, and the third season of the comedy ‘Los Perros’ at Teatro Milán. Recent theatrical additions include ‘Monster Promise’ at Mexico’s Teatro UNAM, a production by the AUr company that utilizes puppets, shadows, and dance to explore childhoods affected by drug trafficking violence. In Chile, the company Festín de la Risa is set to premiere ‘Adiós Mundo Cruel’ at the Parque Cultural de Valparaíso (PCdV). Directed by Nicolás Eyzaguirre Bravo, this circus-based production uses humor to examine life and mourning through the story of three unemployed clowns. In Colombia and Chile, theater companies are launching immersive and tradition-based works. The Hijos del Ocio company in Colombia is celebrating its anniversary with 30 functions of four different plays. In Chile, the Cuervos de Pantano company is presenting ‘Despertar de Tierra’ at the Teatro Regional del Maule, while the Coro San Juan de Machalí performs a musical-theatrical show. New Chilean developments include La Llave Maestra’s ‘INFINITA: Paisajes de Gabriela’ at Teatro CA660, a non-verbal sensory tribute to Nobel Prize winner Gabriela Mistral using object theater, dance, and puppets. In Argentina, Las Chicas de la Obra is presenting ‘Casas Abiertas’ at Teatro ATTP in Santa Rosa, exploring memory and political prisoners from the 1970s.
