Theater productions in Argentina and Peru

Overview

Local theater productions are being staged across Argentina and Peru, focusing on diverse social, political, and personal themes.

In Argentina, recent performances include Kajay Teatro’s ‘Voy a estar esperando mañana’ at La Mandinga, directed by Marcela Delturco. The play features a polyphonic cast exploring identity, exclusion, and resistance through the stories of women and LGBTQ+ individuals, inspired by a transfemicide in Formosa. The Taller Municipal de Teatro’s company ‘Sin Hilo’ has also presented works including ‘Compañía’, a satirical comedy by Eduardo Rovner regarding emotional dependency, and ‘Entre Nos’, a gender-perspective dramedy by Santiago Serrano.

Newer productions in Argentina include the independent collective Danzando ando, which presents ‘Despertar’ in Córdoba. Directed by María Laura Cisneros, the piece combines folk and contemporary dance to explore human resilience and diversity, incorporating a wheelchair as a narrative element of rebirth. Additionally, director María Luján Zalazar is presenting ‘Francisco, el musical del fin del mundo’, an original musical theater piece based on the autobiography of Jorge Bergoglio that traces his life alongside major historical events.

In Peru, the Tránsito Asociación Cultural is marking its 20th anniversary with the premiere of ‘Queríamos cambiarlo todo’. This documentary-style production examines 25 years of Peruvian political and social history and has incorporated accessibility features for neurodivergent, hearing-impaired, and visually impaired audiences.
