Teatro Nucleo: A Theater of Exile in Exile (from Buenos Aires to Ferrara)

Abstract

Teatro Nucleo is an Argentine-Italian theatre group that has developed its theatrical work on the basis the exile experienced by its founders, which prompted them to investigate the scenic and human consequences of exile and motivated multiple identity and therapeutic relationships. The characteristics of the group’s work place it within the most relevant manifestations of a displaced theater, questioning the line that has historically divided theatre as art and as therapy. Teatro Nucleo works on the edges of performative theatrical art and assumes exile as a political act that promotes acts of conscience in each viewer.
