Folio 029 Con la provocac ión de Juan Carlos Uviedo. Ejerc icios teatra les de un par ia With Provocations by Juan Carlos Uviedo. The Theatrical Experiments of a Pariah “Provoked by Juan Carlos Uviedo.” This was the formula to which the Argentine Uviedo resorted in order to convey his active place as the instigator and a participant in the “socio-theatrical acts” that he set in motion in different parts of the world during the 1960s and 1970s. In Mexico City—before being expelled from the country in March 1973—he formed the Ergónico group, which included Olivier Debroise, Sarah and Yago Minter, Héctor de Anda, Athenea Baker, Zaniah Guvan, Mario Ficachi, Alejandra Zea, Nelson Oxman, Jacques Riviere, Julia Marichal, and many others. Now for the first time, his forgotten legacy has been brought together in the form of a nascent archive, made up of discontinuous traces from the errant life of a great provocateur. Juan Carlos Uviedo He was born in Santo Tomé, Santa Fe province, Argentina. After a childhood accident —which required a long rehabilitation with demanding physical exercises—he developed acrobatic skills, which he demonstrated frequently by walking on his hands or balancing a broom on the tip of his nose. In 1961, he joined the cast of the Comedia Cordobesa for “Numancia,” Rafael Alberti’s adaptation of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra’s El cerco de Numancia, directed by Jorge Petraglia, which was presented in Córdoba, San Miguel de Tucumán, and Buenos Aires. He was linked to the literary group Publique at the Universidad del Literal (in Santa Fe) and he joined the editorial committee for the magazine’s first issue, which featured one of his poems, dated March 27, 1961.
