Abstract

This study addresses the possibilities and impossibilities of the articulation of a radical theater movement in the USA. In 1968, theater director R.G. Davis, founder of the San Francisco Mime Troupe, organized the Radical Theatre Festival in San Francisco, inviting his fellow groups El Teatro Campesino and Bread and Puppet to attend the event. Based on the debate held between the directors of these three companies, we established the main arguments for a aesthetic-political analysis of the effort to articulate them, pointing out the probable causes of that failed attempt.
