Trans/Acting: Latin American and Latino Performing Arts comprises
fourteen new essays by leading scholars of Latin American and US
Latino theater as well as the performance script Mexterminator vs.
The Global Predator by Guillermo Gomez-Pena. The essays focus on
contemporary Latin American and US Latino dramatic texts and
performances. They range from a panoramic view of transculturation
in twentieth-century Latin American theater to in-depth analyses of
individual plays from Cuba (Abelardo Estorino), Mexico (Sabina
Berman, Vicente Lenero, Paquita la del Barrio), Argentina (Rafael
Spregelburd, Patricia Suarez, Susana Torres Molina), Uruguay
(Gabriel Peveroni), and the US (Guillermo Reyes, Guillermo
Gomez-Pena, and the Original Latin Kings of Comedy). By deploying
the concept of trans/acting, with its connotations of negotiation
and/or exchange, in various theoretical ways the essays explore and
challenge the parameters of culturation, nationalism, gender,
genre, translation, and adaptation in the context of globalization,
shifting borders, and new cultural paradigms. The study of
contemporary theater and performance arts in this volume is
complemented by trans/actor Gomez-Pena's Mexterminator vs. The
Global Predator, a strikingly transgressive script that underscores
the performative nature of territorial and symbolic border
crossings. Exploring the transformation of Latin American theater
from the local to the global and the national to the transnational,
Trans/Acting will appeal to scholars of Latin American studies,
performance art, and globalization.
