| Sumario: | The present work studies two Chilean theater groups based in Costa Rica as a result of the Augusto Pinochet dictatorship: Teatro del Ángel and Teatro Surco. The study is carried out through the reconstruction of brief biographies of the involved artists starting at their country of origin, their motives for fleeing the homeland and their subsequent insertion into the Costa Rican environment. Our interest lies in identifying their adaptation strategies during 1973-1988, a period where artistic instances were created with government sponsorship (the budget would later be eliminated) and in which the artistic groups had to make way and create an audience from a public unaccustomed to theatrical tradition. |
