How might the organic link between theatre-making and political
action be revitalised? And how might a spontaneous vision of a
theatre of and for ordinary people be reignited? Since his
political exile from Argentina in 1977, theatre director and
producer Horacio Czertok has devoted his life to re-imagining the
art of the theatre, taking it out of its comfort zone into places
of social conflict such as deprived suburban areas, prisons and
mental hospitals, as well as open, public spaces, engaging directly
with audiences in a spirit of abiding, carnivalesque, and deeply
political theatrical experimentation. Adapting a rigorous
Stanislavskian theatrical training to the exigencies of raw,
immediate encounters with audiences in marginal and open spaces,
Czertok's theatre-making is unique, not only in the kinds of
capacities and skills it allows actors to develop, but also in the
way it renders the question of political efficacy immanent to the
very process of making theatre. Providing Czertok's own, highly
personal account of his trajectory in the global scene of
theatre-making over the past half-century, this is a book about the
theatre of exile - a theatre of streets, prisons, hospitals, open
to direct and unexpected encounters with audiences and their
life-experiences. Photos by Luca Gavagna
