This project examines how theatre productions of Argentina use humor to dialogue with three moments of crisis at the socio-political level in the country from the 1970s through the present. I first look at the dictatorship itself (1976-1983), then at the Guerra de Malvinas and simultaneously the end or decline of the dictatorship (1982-1983), and finally, the Economic Crisis (spanning the late 1990s through its culmination in 2001). I argue that humor creates an epistemological approach to suffering and surviving crises, and functions as an affective opening to dialogue with segments of society in the theatre space and time. In each chronological moment, I analyze two key theatre works that encompass a feeling for the theatrical poetic and theme of the period. Each of the selected works illustrates a unique manifestation of Argentine humor on the stage that evolves, recycles, and pushes forward to innovate in a climate of crisis. My major interventions into the field of contemporary Argentine theatre studies are twofold: Firstly, it is my contention that the cognitive experience of humor when accompanying themes of crisis and feelings of trauma leads audiences to new forms of understanding that are not based in traditional forms of knowledge but rather begin to construct knowledge from a base of affective experience. In the theatre this brings about new considerations and feelings of national identity in Argentina, and, the possibility of large-scale recovery. Secondly, in my research, I see Argentine theatre as providing a space of togetherness, an interaction that creates temporary community among spectators and the bodies bringing stories to life on the stage which critically assesses and addresses the evaluation of being Argentine together. To examine this microcosm of the nation, I bring together text and performance moment in my analyses, approaching theatre pieces as literature but also from performance studies.
