WORK IN PROGRESS:
Upstaging Reality, Documenting Life in Theatre and Visual Arts in Latin America. In this
book-length project, I plan to explore the historical, theatrical, artistic, and aesthetic
implications of the use of real archives in political and historically charged Latin
American plays and performances. My objective is to expand the notion of documentary
techniques in the theatre and visual arts as a mere political tool that uncovers truths and to
focus, instead, on the provocative use of real archives that parody history and the present
time through the manipulation of interpretation of real documents and humor.
