Arias, Lola (2016) Memory is a Minefield: The Art of Re-enactment, the 2016 Edward Gordon Craig lecture by Lola Arias, chaired by Prof. Maria Delgado. In: The 2016 STR Edward Gordon Craig Lecture, 6th June 2016, King's College, University of London.

Abstract

Can art be a way to revive the past? A means to represent memories and make present what is lost somewhere in our heads? Lola Arias has been working for more than ten years on interdisciplinary projects, using theatre, film and visual arts to explore the relationship between experience and narration, memory and fiction, personal history and a country’s history. In this lecture she provides an overview of her most recent productions in order to examine how writing can be produced that departs from real histories, what the relationship between the self-narrator and the artist is created through this kind of theatre, and, above all, what collateral effects these projects have on life and viceversa.
