Thanks to Hedda Kage for providing a home away from home. I am particularly indebted to Christel Weiler and her team (especially Antje, Armin, Claudia, Holger, and Torsten) and to my other fellows for their stimulating observations: Gastón Alzate, Rustom Bharucha, Peter Eckersall, Friederike Felbeck, Helen Gilbert, Katherine Mezur, Margaret Werry, and Phillip Zarrilli. Page viii → The Freie Universität’s International Research Center “Interweaving Performance Cultures,” directed by Erika Fischer-Lichte and Gabriele Brandstetter, provided me that rare luxury of space and time to reflect and write. I am grateful to Lynette Gibson for shouldering the day-to-day during my time as program head. Former students and now colleagues working on Argentine performance and iconicity have influenced and enriched my thinking special appreciation goes to Linell Ajello, Karina Carballo, Elisa Legon, Lindsay Livingston, Milton Loayza, Ana Martínez, David Rodríguez-Solás, Ruth Wikler-Luker, and Laura Williams.
