There are four Argentine productions on the bill at this year’s Festival

which has generated a desire to take a different approach to probing the explosive country that is Argentina and have a stark look at what has been written about it. The public is being offered a Salón Argentino, like a reading in a Buenos Aires café, but avoiding above all the mistake of fantasising over a stereotypical representation.

We asked several Argentine artists to send us texts that, for them, most accurately evoke the feelings that they have about their country today. The response has been startling. They have been arranged into an evening set to music chosen by Edgardo Rudnitzky, the composer and sound designer behind several productions, films and contemporary installations in Argentina.
