BAiT (Buenos Aires in Translation)

BAiT (Buenos Aires in Translation) is an international theatrical collaboration bringing together four of the most dynamic playwrights from Buenos Aires, Argentina (Lola Arias, Federico León, Rafael Spregelburd, and Daniel Veronese) with four U.S.-based directors (Brooke O’Harra with her company The Theatre of a Two-Headed Calf, Jay Scheib, Yana Ross and Juan Souki) to present a repertory program of English language premieres. This is the first time any of these remarkable playwrights will have their plays presented in the United States.

BAiT is presented as part of the Drawing Board Series. The series partners the Abrons Arts Center with Performance Space 122 (PS 122) for a range of residencies with some of PS 122’s most electrifying artists. Through the Drawing Board Series, cutting-edge theatre and dance artists develop new projects and present public showings of works-in-progress, which are followed by conversations between the artists and the audience. The series offers audiences insight into the creative process and provides artists valuable feedback on the development of their work.
