When in Quarantine: Bringing Theatre Home with Boca del Lupo

Abstract

Abstract:Sherry J. Yoon and Jay Dodge of Vancouver’s Boca del Lupo Theatre sit down to discuss the process and creation of Plays2Perform@Home, an anthology of plays that won the 2021 Canadian Association for Theatre Research Patrick O’Neill Award. In a separate interview, one of the contributing playwrights, Santiago Guzmán, discusses his play Mona, Lisa and reflects on how his artistic practice has shifted and grown through the pandemic. All three artists meditate on what it has meant to create theatre during the pandemic and offer hopes and projections on the future of performance as audiences begin returning to theatres.
