Independent theater emerged in Buenos Aires at the beginning of the 1930s as a way to produce and conceive a theater that wanted to renew the national stage by three means: breaking away from conventional theater, placing artistic objectives before economic ones, and by aspiring for a non-profit theater of high aesthetic quality. It was conceived as a collective and defiant practice in opposition to the status quo of the periods theater, and as anti-capitalist, yet as a heterogeneous organization, while revealing itself as complex and rich in diversity. The article addresses a particular case: The Free Theater of Buenos Aires, created in 1944 by Roberto Pérez Castro.

Keywords : independent theater; Teatro Libre; Roberto Pérez Castro; Buenos Aires; heterogeneity; archive; Juan Domingo Perón.
