Diana Taylor's The Archive and the Repertoire is already a classic in its genre. The book is considered one of the most important essays for thinking and rethinking performance within the Latin American space. The author organizes an intense epistemological journey to construct a broad and flexible network encompassing the diversity that makes up performance practices. Organized from highly qualified theoretical sources, the book opens up space to understand the scope of performance situated either in the individual body of solo artists or as a group aesthetic creation, as well as a political resource of the social collective.
