Presentation
{NOTA_BAJADA}

TEMPORADA ALTA is a programme developed by PROA21 to support the creation of new, original performing arts works. It offers a rigorous working framework that places particular emphasis on artistic process and on research across theatre, dance, performance, music and literature. Each spring, four artists are invited to develop a work conceived specifically for the garden, presented to the public on summer Saturdays at sunset. The selection of projects reflects a broad perspective on local performing arts practices, bringing together diverse creative approaches and sharing them with audiences.

The programme unfolds in two phases—creation and presentation—and takes place at PROA21 between November and March. Over its three consecutive editions (2023–2025), more than 80 artists from a wide range of disciplines have taken part.

For its fourth edition, PROA21 brings together Estudio QP, José Guerrero, Constanza Feldman and the duo Ana Iramain and Guido Wertheimer. Work begins in November, starting from the proposals submitted at the outset of the programme. Throughout the process, each project is supported on an ongoing basis by the PROA21 team and by a tutor. This year, Ciro Zorzoli works with Estudio QP; Roberta Ainstein with José Guerrero; Rafael Spregelburd with Constanza Feldman; and, as a duo, Alejo Moguillansky and Luciana Acuña with Ana Iramain and Guido Wertheimer.

The research phase brings together discussion and practical work in the garden. Week by week, each group engages with the space, testing ideas initially within their own process and, later on, in relation to the public. In parallel, a series of collective activities extends the research into the neighbourhood of La Boca and its surrounding area.

The presentation cycle takes place on Saturdays from 10 January to 28 March 2026. Each project is shown in three consecutive performances, with free admission.

During the research and creation phase, the artists work at PROA21 on a weekly basis. This is the moment to begin engaging with the garden and to test the initial ideas behind each project. Writing sessions, discussions, training, experiments and rehearsals take place throughout this period. We follow how the works grow and evolve until, later on, they encounter the public in that same space.

This phase is accompanied by a series of group activities with a dual purpose: to explore the neighbourhood in which the projects are being developed, and to strengthen exchange and relationships among those taking part in the programme. The first of these activities is the launch picnic, a welcoming gathering where the programme officially begins and the preliminary projects are presented. This is followed by various walks through the neighbourhood and its institutions—including exploratory trips along the Riachuelo—conceived as ways of engaging with the history and identity of La Boca from multiple perspectives.

Meetings between artists and tutors also take place in the garden. These are spaces for conversation and shared work, where participants are both supported and challenged by other points of view.

The phase concludes with a group clinic: a collective session to share progress, discoveries, decisions and open questions. What is shared are not only creative processes, but also different ways of inhabiting uncertainty.

SELECTED ARTISTS
{NOTA_BAJADA}

For the selection of artists for TEMPORADA ALTA 2026, artists and tutors from the previous edition were invited to submit nominations. We were particularly interested in the perspective of those who had already gone through the programme and were therefore well placed to identify new practitioners willing to take on its challenges. This exchange resulted in an initial list of 62 names, which then became the basis for further research and discussion in order to define the artists invited to this edition.

Estudio QP is a collective of five artists and friends who have been working together through a horizontal and collaborative structure since 2019. They have created, produced and directed three works—Quiero pertenecer (2019), Piramidal (2023) and El suceso (2024)—in which some members also performed. The group is made up of Micaela Amaro (actress, singer and poet), Marcos Krivocapich (director, playwright, screenwriter and puppeteer), Lula Fenomenoide (teacher, singer and bassist), Donna Tefa (actress and film and television writer), and Teo López Puccio (teacher, pianist and composer).

We invited Estudio QP to take part in this edition of Temporada Alta after seeing Piramidal and El suceso. We encountered a group of artists marked by wit, inventiveness and a strong capacity for organisation. They write, direct and perform their own work, handling the technical aspects of staging with confidence. Their practice engages directly with contemporary issues, developing a critique grounded entirely in humour—a way of pointing out what is troubling and absurd without losing lightness. They arrive at Temporada Alta to make jokes and, for the first time, to direct collectively without performing. They laugh while doing so. So do we.

José Guerrero
@guerrej

José Guerrero was born in Río Negro, Patagonia, Argentina. He is a playwright and theatre director, trained at the Metropolitan School of Dramatic Art in Buenos Aires.

He is the author of Metrochenta, Un grano de polvo suspendido en un rayo de sol, El borde cerca, La teoría de un Brian and Puenteras.

He wrote and directed Metrochenta, which won the Buenos Aires Biennial of Young Art 2021/2022. For this work he received the Writing Incentive Award granted by Fundación Proa, Fundación Bunge y Born and Diario La Nación, as well as the 2022 Arts Promotion Award awarded by Radio France Internationale and Radio Cultura. Metrochenta is published as part of the Otros Dramas series by Libros Drama.

He wrote Un grano de polvo suspendido en un rayo de sol, commissioned and produced by the Museum of Modern Art of Buenos Aires for the programme El borde de sí mismo, curated by Alejandro Tantanian and Javier Villa.
El borde cerca premiered at the 3rd Monoblock Festival organised by Abasto Social Club and is included in Antología Monoblock III, published by Libros Drama.
He wrote and directed La teoría de un Brian for the 9th El Porvenir Festival (Argentine directors under 30), and the work was selected for the Micro Cycle organised by the Paco Urondo Cultural Centre at the University of Buenos Aires.
He also took part in the 10th CicloIncierto Playwriting Residency with Puenteras, produced by Iberescena and Espacio TBK.

He currently teaches playwriting workshops and is working on his first novel.

We invited José Guerrero to join the fourth edition of the programme based on our familiarity with his literary work, even though we had not yet seen his work on stage. In conversation, he spoke about his interest in the sonic dimension of language, radio drama, the relationship between the genre and the history of La Boca, and a central hypothesis: sound and listening as the core of both the research process and the audience’s experience. Archival exploration becomes a catalyst for creation and opens up new areas of discovery. José and his team are ready to be surprised at every step. The voice, like a fire around which to gather and listen.

Constanza Feldman was born in Tandil, Province of Buenos Aires, in 1986. She is a dancer, actress, director and choreographer. She has worked with leading figures in theatre, dance and film such as Agustín Mendilaharzu, Mariano Llinás, Laura Paredes, Laura Citarella, Carlos Casella, Matías Feldman and Santiago Gobernori, among others.

She is co-director and lead performer of the film Clementina, produced by El Pampero Cine, which has received awards at several national and international festivals.

She has also performed as a dancer in the contemporary opera Einstein on the Beach by Philip Glass and Robert Wilson at the Teatro Colón.

In an effort to bring the language of dance into Temporada Alta, we invited Constanza Feldman. Her proposal for the garden imagines a life that feels as if it belongs to the past, while also remaining firmly within the realm of fantasy. Clichés are used to build characters, alongside a commitment to working with the space as it is—using everything the garden offers to tell a story through movement, without spoken text and with original live music.

Guido Wertheimer was born in Buenos Aires in 1996. He works as a theatre writer and director. He lived in Berlin for six years, where he studied scenic writing at the Universität der Künste. He writes and rewrites plays, screenplays, texts, essays and poems. He is currently working on his first novel, which reflects on the elusive connection between origin and destination.

Ana Iramain is a visual artist born in Avellaneda in 1993. She is interested in a wide range of image-based formats and explores ways of connecting fictional and documentary narratives. Her essayistic works address cities, bodies, relationships and the expansion of time. She is currently enrolled in the film programme at Universidad Torcuato Di Tella and lives between Berlin and Buenos Aires.

We invited Ana Iramain and Guido Wertheimer to take part in the programme with particular attention to how their dramaturgical and audiovisual practices might engage with the specific conditions of the garden. Their proposal brings together large and small stories—past narratives and those of others—with stories unfolding in the present, rooted in their own lives. The work constructs a universe shaped by autobiographical narration, fantastic characters, archival traces of the neighbourhood’s past and present, and original live music.
