ABSTRACT
I do theatre. My artistic work is divided in three main fields: as an actor-clown, as a director and as a professor at the National San Martin’s University’s in Buenos Aires. I work on the link between personal and collective memory. After the creation in 2017 of Eighty Bullets in the Wing (a personal creation in the Argentinian ESMA, the biggest extermination camp in the Americas used by the Argentinian Junta between 1976 and 1983, formerly the Navy’s Mechanic School), in 2019, I was invited by French cultural institutions to Paris, where I established and created the Intimate Model’s Lab. This Lab has been a meeting point for artists, people having experienced traumatic events, therapists, and academics from more than 20 nationalities. Throughout the Labs, theatre companies, museums, universities and cultural spaces from Argentina, Mexico, France, Belgium, Switzerland, the United States and Canada have mixed in interdisciplinary groups to explore this method. In a full immersion, five-day experience the participants work resiliently in group and on their own through different aesthetics tools:
Physical play through movement and dance.
Objects and image theatre, writing and drawing through personal and collective memory.
A plastic work to create the models, a transposed representation of a lived experience.
