Theatrical Repertoire and Internationalization of Chilean Theater: Case Study

Main Article Content

Abstract

Theater internationalization is a phenomenon of recent concern in Latin-American regions. This internationalization favors countries’ cultural visibility and artistic and critic exchange as well as new economic benefits, among others. International circulation of theatrical plays leads to the creation of a repertoire –which I call an “exportation repertoire”–, that projects a cultural image of the country of origin. This image emerges as a result of a construction mediated by selection. The study of chilean plays presented abroad allows to observe the coincidences or divergences of the repertoire, identify different aspects involved in international circulation and meditate about the cultural image projected by theater.
