Inside the production

Story, stage & company

Cast & creatives

People behind the production

De La Guarda is a groundbreaking immersive theatre troupe born in Buenos Aires in the early 1990s, created by Pichon Baldinu and Diqui James with music by Gabriel Kerpel. Often described as theater that falls from the sky, the company redefined live performance by blending rock, Latin folklore, and industrial textures with aerialists, water jets, fog, and a shifting lightscape. Audiences stand in a dark space as the action unfolds around and above them, creating a visceral, sensory experience that transcends traditional staging.

The documented stage experience

Though their most famous era ran through the late 1990s and early 2000s, including a landmark Off-Broadway run in New York at the Daryl Roth Theatre from 1998 to 2004, De La Guarda’s influence continues to resonate in contemporary performance and experimental music scenes. The company’s international reach extended to London and other European engagements, documenting a bold approach to live art that invites participation, risk, and discovery.
