Liga Mendocina de Improvisacion

The Liga Mendocina de Improvisacion was founded in 2011 by Esteban Agnello and collaborators from the University of Cuyo arts community, establishing competitive improv as an organised practice in Mendoza Province. The league adopted the match format familiar from Buenos Aires and ran it through fifteen seasons, building a local audience and performer base. The Mendoza Legislature declared the Liga of Cultural Interest, acknowledging its contribution to the province's performing arts ecosystem. In 2017 and 2019 the Liga organised the FIDI (Festival Internacional de Improvisacion) and the South American Improvisation Tournament, expanding its reach beyond the provincial scale.

The Liga Mendocina applies the competitive match format to the Mendoza context, combining structured league play with international festival production to build and sustain a provincial improv community.

The Liga Mendocina established theatrical improvisation as a sustained professional practice in Mendoza Province and created the institutional infrastructure that enabled FIDI and the South American Improvisation Tournament.
