‘Greeks on the Buenos Aires Stage: Insights from an Argentine Director’ Mónica Maffía (Universidad de Buenos Aires and Grupo de Teatro FyL, Argentina) en el Congreso Internacional "Greeks and Romans in the Latin American Stage"

Estimados,

                 se ha modificado favorablemente mi participación en el Congreso Internacional "Greeks and Romans in the Latin American Stage". Mi conferencia‘Greeks on the Buenos Aires Stage: Insights from an Argentine Director’ Mónica Maffía (Universidad de Buenos Aires and Grupo de Teatro FyL, Argentina) cambia de día y de edificio.  Será el jueves a las 14:40hs, nada menos que en Chancellor's Hall del imponente edificio de Senate House, integrando el panel “Expanding the Canon: New Approaches” con el cual cierra el congreso.

        

         Con más de 30 expositores de diferentes países (mayormente de Estados Unidos y de Europa),  la selección de apenas 11 fotos que ilustran el afiche del congreso,  incluye 3 que corresponden a espectáculos míos:  

(de izq a derecha)  1º línea en el tercer cuadro, blanco y, negro, es una foto de César Padilla de  MUNDO-INFRAMUNDO. En la segunda línea, exactamente debajo de la anterior una foto de Michel Marcu de LOS PERSAS de Esquilo, y finalmente en la última línea, la foto del medio -de Cristian Tonhaiser- es mi versión de EL BANQUETE DE PLATÓN. 

Aqui mando copia del nuevo programa.  ¡Un abrazo desde Londres!

Mónica Maffía
