From Heyday to Decay: The Crisis of Buenos Aires’ Yiddish Theatre Scene during the 1960s

Abstract

This article focuses on the declining process of Yiddish theatrical representations in Argentina throughout the 1960s. The paper will first address the heyday of the Yiddish theatre scene in Buenos Aires, between the 1930s and the 1950s, to then explore the main factors that provoked the crisis that finally led to its decline during the 1960s.
