Yuyachkani
Peru's leading theater collective, known for its groundbreaking work in theatrical experimentation, political performance, and collective creation. The group's name, meaning "I am thinking, I am remembering" in Quechua, reflects its commitment to exploring embodied social memory, particularly related to ethnicity, violence, and memory in Peru. The collective's work has been influential in Latin America's "New Popular Theater," emphasizing grassroots community issues, mobilization, and advocacy. Yuyachkani was honored with Peru's National Human Rights Award in 2000 for its creative integration of indigenous and cosmopolitan performance forms, providing valuable insights into Peruvian and Latin American theater, as well as broader postcolonial social aesthetics.
