El grupo teatral IVAD durante el período 1976-1983

Abstract

This paper studies IVAD, one of the first and most important theatre groups in the Rio Negro city of San Carlos de Bariloche. The research focuses on the historical period corresponding to the last military dictatorship in Argentina –1976 to 1983– self named "National Reorganization Process" and remembered as the most atrocious and violent dictatorship in national history. Likewise, this study focuses on the theatrical productions carried out in the years of the beginning and end of the last dictatorship: on the one hand, the play Our town, premiered in 1976, and on the other hand, the staging of Crónica de un secuestro, premiered in 1983. In this way it is possible to contrast the link between each of these two works with the socio-political reality of the moment of representation, and thus observe a change in the aesthetic decisions of the group.
