Stefano Boselli (Theatre) presented his paper, “Criss-Crossing the Atlantic: Argentine Diasporic Stage Directors Returning to Buenos Aires,” on Dec. 12, 2025 at PSi #30, the Performance Studies international conference “XXX Cruzo, Cruising, Crossroads,” held in Fortaleza, Brazil. Boselli examined the transnational careers of Argentine directors Jorge Lavelli and Alfredo Arias, tracing their emigration to Paris in the 1960s and their rise to prominence within major French cultural institutions, including Arias’s leadership of the National Drama Center of Aubervilliers and Lavelli’s tenure as founding director of the Théâtre de la Colline. He argued that their repeated Atlantic crossings shaped not only their artistic identities but also their later triumphal returns to Buenos Aires stages in the 1980s and 1990s, supported by French institutional funding and prestige. Through close analysis of Arias’s The Game of Love and Chance by Marivaux and Lavelli’s Macbett by Ionesco, Boselli illuminated how French and Argentine theatrical traditions intersected in innovative ways, offering a compelling model for understanding diasporic exchange in global performance networks.
