VIVI TELLAS
El teatro de la intimidad
Jueves 15 de abril, 17:15 - 18:45 horas
Vivi Tellas es una importante directora teatral cuyo trabajo gira alrededor de una idea: buscar teatralidad fuera del teatro. Asi es como ella creó lo famosos ciclos Biodramas y Archivos donde el trabajo consiste en hacer obras de teatro con personas comunes y con los mundos reales a los que esas personas provienen. Tellas nos hablará de esas experiencias y mostrará videos de los resultados. La charla se dicta en español.
Más información sobre Vivi Tellas (inglés): Vivi Tellas has been at the cutting edge of the Argentine theater scene since 1980, first as the originator of Teatro Malo (Bad Theater) and since then as the director of a succession of innovative stage productions.

Her original contributions include Homenaje a Xul Solar (1989), Europera V (1995), Los fracasados del mal (1992), and a groundbreaking interpretation in collaboration with artist Guillermo Kuitca of La casa de Bernarda Alba(2002). Since 2000 she has worked on the Archives Project, a cycle of radical stagings of everyday life in Buenos Aires, directing her real-life mother and aunts (Mi mamá y mis tías, 2003-4), recreating her driving lessons in the Automóvil Club Argentino (Escuela de conducción, 2006-7), imagining a conversation between the writer Edgardo Cozarinsky and his doctor (Cozarinsky y su médico, 2005-2006), and exploring Buenos Aires nightlife in Disc Jockey (2008).
Vivi Tellas founded and directed the Center for Experimentation in Theater of the University of Buenos Aires. Between 1998 and 2000 she was in charge of the Stage Arts section of the Recoleta Cultural Center. Between 2001 and 2008 she was the Artistic Director of the Sarmiento Theater, which she transformed into the experimental space of the Theater Complex of the City of Buenos Aires. In 2008, she taught the seminar "Family Theater," first in London by joint invitation of the National Portrait Gallery and Shunt, the legendary performance space, then in Dublin by invitation of the Project Arts Center.
