ABSTRACT
This chapter critically engages with two performative interventions that took place in ESMA Memory Museum (Buenos Aires, Argentina) in 2019: The Impossible Scene, a site-specific performative installation created by Polish visual artist Wojtek Ziemilski, and Recess: A Practical Guide for Trials Against Humanity, a piece created by locally-based practitioners that proposed a guided tour around the ESMA trials. By envisaging key lines of future research around museums and theatre, the chapter suggests that these pieces can offer a grounded exploration of how contemporary theatre and performance might contribute to a more inclusive transnational politics of memory and grief.
