Staging Lives in Latin American Theater: Bodies, Objects, Archives examines twentyfirstcentury documentary theater in Latin America, focusing on important plays by the Argentine director Vivi Tellas, the Argentine playwright and director Lola Arias, the Mexican theater collective Teatro Lnea de Sombra, and the Chilean playwright and director Guillermo Caldern. Paola S. Hernndez demonstrates how material objects and archivesphotographs, videos, and documents such as witness reports, legal briefs, and letterscome to life onstage. Hernndez argues that presentday, live performances catalog these material archives, expanding and reinterpreting the objects meanings. These performances produce an affective relationship between actor and audience, visualizing truths long obscured by repressive political regimes and transforming theatrical spaces into sites of witness. This process also highlights the liminality between fact and fiction, questioning the veracity of the archive.Richly detailed, nuanced, and theoretically wideranging, Staging Lives in Latin American Theater reveals a range of interpretations about how documentary theater can conceptualize the idea of self while also proclaiming a new mode of testimony through theatrical practices.
