Experiencias de teatro socio-cultural en Bolivia: una tendencia con cincuenta años de camino

Abstract

From the decade of the 50s to the present, Bolivia has had groups of cultural production and diffusion that have developed activities with the goals of political intervention, the critical concientización of audiences, the discussion of local social and political matters, and the management and organization of resources in base organizations. These groups have produced theatrical works that represent the local reality, redefine identities, and reconstruct subaltern shared memories. This essay focuses on models of this trend in Bolivian theatre within the context of Theatre of the Andes.
