  • af Romina Paula
    406,95 kr.

    The best-known dramatic works of Paula in its first English translation. This volume brings together the best-known dramatic works of Argentine playwright Romina Paula for the first time in English translation. As a playwright, novelist, actor, and director of theater and film, Paula defies traditional boundaries between the arts, engaging different modes of production, and borrowing freely from the languages of theater, film, dance, photography, and music. In the four plays collected here--The Sound It Makes (2007), The Whole of Time (2009), Fauna (2013), and Rewilding (2016)--Paula moves us to think about how we tell the stories of people's lives, exploring synergies between documentary and fiction, and the role of art in expressing ideas of love, family, gender, and sexuality. Paula's plays imagine worlds that are both poetically expansive and intimate. Paula belongs to a new generation of Argentine artists influenced by feminist activism and the collective mobilization against gender violence that has revolutionized Latin America in the early twenty-first century. Her vision expressed through these moving plays collected in this volume will be welcome by literature enthusiasts and activists alike.

  • - and Other Plays
    af Santiago Loza
    328,95 kr.

    The first anthology of Latin American drama to uniquely focus on the important Argentine dramatist, Santiago Loza. “Nothing to Do with Love:â€? And Other Plays brings together, for the first time in English, several of Argentine playwright Santiago Loza‿s major works, along with visual documentation of the playwright‿s productions and their historical and thematic contexts. For nearly twenty years, Loza has written scripts that document the experiences of marginalized individuals who live outside Buenos Aires or in its overlooked barrios, exploring how rural, working-class, and otherwise marginal individuals inhabit a reality different from many of the urban audiences who flock to the nation‿s theater. Loza focuses his dramaturgy on individuals who lead lives as seamstresses, orphans, ranch hands, or disaffected adults talking about their problems without any expectation of resolution. His plays provide a sense of the richness of Argentina‿s contemporary theater by giving voice to individuals whose lives are complicated by the economic fallout caused by Argentina‿s adoption of neoliberal policies and the economic crash of 2001, as well as by the nation‿s rapidly changing viewpoints on race, gender identity, and sexuality.   The first anthology of Latin American drama to uniquely focus on the important Argentine dramatist, Santiago Loza, this book will draw attention anew to the contemporary theaters of Argentina, Mexico, Panama, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
