Griselda Gambaro's
"Information for Foreigners"
Thursday, April 5, 2007, 6:00 PM
Humanities and Social Science Building 1143
Co-sponsored by UCSB's Performance Studies Research Group
 One
of Latin America's most important and prolific writers,
Griselda Gambaro has focused on the dynamics of repression,
complicity, and violence--specifically, the terror of violent
regimes and their devastating effects on the moral framework
of society. Information for Foreigners is a drama
of disappearance, an experimental work dealing with the
theme of random and meaningless punishment in which the
audience is led through darkened passageways to a series
of nightmarish tableaux.
"Griselda Gambaro is, without doubt, one
of the most innovative and powerful writers in the world today."
--Diana Taylor, Dartmouth College
"She is not only one of the major literary figures of
contemporary Argentina but indeed of all Latin America."
--George Woodyard, University of Kansas
