This course traces the development of Latin American theater from the precolonial period to the New Popular Theater. It will focus on several problematic subjects, such as geographic parameters, themes and major trends in dramatic theory, and economic and political structures in the process of production. Detailed consideration is given to contact between languages, Native American, European and African traditions, as well as influences of experimental theater and popular culture.
