Abstract: During the first decades of the 20th Century, a large population of Jews settled in
Argentina to escape difficult living conditions and antisemitism in Europe. The multidirectional
migratory movement of European Jews during the interwar period and the use of the international
language of Yiddish contributed to creating an extensive transnational network of Jewish artists,
which helped them perform throughout the world. This presentation will explore how Jewish
theatre provided the immigrants with a familiar and intimate setting that allowed them to maintain
their connection with the broader Jewish cultural world and preserve their Jewish identity while
adapting to the new country. Moreover, it will show how itinerant Jewish artists and companies
served as a transnational conduit for the migration of artistic conceptions that played a fundamental
role in the modernization of the Argentinian cultural scene.
