The Uncapturable is a wide-ranging reflection on the art of the
mise en scene from the perspective of leading Argentinian theatre
director Ruben Szuchmacher. It offers a timely and concise, though
comprehensive, survey of the role and responsibility of the theatre
director from the earliest times to the twenty-first century.
Szuchmacher defines theatre as the confluence of four art forms -
architecture, visual art, sound and literature - whose works only
truly exist in the moment of encounter with an audience. He argues
that, by taking full account of these four art forms, analysing
them in detail and engaging thoughtfully with the many specialists
who come together to bring a mise en scene into being, the director
of today can still create work that innovates and inspires. The
Uncapturable is as valuable to the apprentice director emerging
from their training as it is to the veteran in need of fresh
reflection. Szuchmacher draws on the unique learnings gleaned from
working in Argentina, be it the impact on theatre of politics, the
need for inventiveness in times of hardship, the phenomenon of
Argentine 'circus theatre' or the adaptation of literary giants
such as Borges, affording the Anglophone reader an alternative
perspective on the ideas of theatre we often take for granted.
Szuchmacher offers a unique blend of global knowledge, historical
awareness and a pragmatic, resourceful and creative approach from a
theatre artist working in Latin American through decades of change.
The book is translated from the Spanish by William Gregory.
