Though her theatre takes the form of many varied aesthetic expressions, on some level Gambaro is always probing the nature of power, our conscience, and theatricality itself.įor decades she has been creating allegorical dramas that deal with issues relating to the oppressive political and social environment of Argentina in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Her most recent production was El don at the Teatro Cervantes in 2015. This began her international success which has continued to the present day. In the early 1960s, Gambaro became involved with the avant-garde arts foundation the Instituto Torcuato Di Tella where she staged a series of four plays: Las paredes (The Walls) (1964), El desatino (The Blunder) (1965), Los siameses (The Siamese Twins) (1967) and El campo (The Camp) (1971).
She began writing at the age of 24 but it was in her mid-thirties that she suddenly started to enjoy great recognition and success as a writer. She was born in Buenos Aires in 1928 into a family of second-generation Italian immigrants. One of Latin America’s most prolific and important novelist, prize-winning, playwrights scrutinizes the role of theatre and theatricality in Argentina’s tumultuous recent history.
