Centro de Experimentación Audiovisual (CEA) del Instituto Torcuato Di Tella (1963-1970). The Torcuato Di Tella Institute (1960-1970), the epicentre of the 1960s artistic avant-garde, consisted of the Economic Research Centre, the Centre for Medicine, the Social Research Centre, the Latin American Centre for Advanced Music Studies, the Visual Arts Centre and the Audiovisual Experimentation Centre (CEA, 1963-1970). The CEA became an incubator and operations hub for artists who are today part of the living heritage of Argentinian theatre: Alfredo Arias, Ángel Elizondo, Norman Briski, Jorge Bonino, Griselda Gambaro, Grupo Lobo, Nacha Guevara, Kado Kostzer, Les Luthiers, Marilú Marini, Mario Trejo, Jorge Petraglia and many others. The CEA conceived of stage practice as something more than the strictly dramatic, questioned the primacy of the script as the guiding principle of the play and, as the researcher María Fernanda Pinta argues, broadened the concept of theatre by linking it to performance, happening, multimedia and dance (with performers such as Danza Actual [Dance Today], the Laboratorio de Danza [Dance Laboratory], or artistes such as Iris Scaccheri and Oscar Araiz). Novel, cosmopolitan, controversial: the Di Tella and its ‘test objects’ continue to challenge contemporary theatre.
