Abstract

In 1976, Odin Teatret was invited to the Festival of Caracas (Venezuela) to present the performance Come! And the day will be ours. That journey is a landmark in the history of Odin since it was the first time the whole group went to Latin America. The Odin Teatret group remained six weeks in Venezuela. In this period, the group organized a barter with the Yanomamis, an indigenous community of the Upper Orinoco in the Amazonian Rainforest. This barter is the main topic of our analysis; it is of particular relevance for studying the phenomena related to learning and sensoriality. Our study is based on selected material from the CTLS’ archive (Hölstebro, Denmark) and on interviews with the Odin Teatret’s actors. We analysed our material
from an ethnoscenological point of view.
