Archives and theatricalities of the Chilean exile in Costa Rica (1970-1980) is a research that seeks to make visible the work of Chilean theater artists exiled in this Caribbean country during the seventies and eighties, as a result of the Chilean dictatorship in the context of the Cold War, where all of Latin America was under authoritarian regimes. This work seeks to identify and understand the theatrical work that these artists developed in exile in Costa Rica, based on three axes: collaboration networks, production modes, and staging strategies. The particularity of this study is that all the research was carried out from archive material, specifically two documentary collections: (1) the Huellas de Exilio Collection of the Arde Archive and (2) the Documentary Fund of Theater Albums of Bélgica Castro
and Alejandro Sieveking, from the Research and Archives Program of the Theater Scene UC.
