ABSTRACT

Satires, Ridicules and Caricatures in the Mexican Playwrights



Eduardo Contreras Soto


Theater plays with a satirical tone and grotesque caricatures of characters and situations are frequent in the Mexican dramatic repertoire. This approach allows us to continue seeing validity and a possibility of dialog with actual audiences, familiarized and used to the irreverence and wide styles and genres such as clown and cabaret. Just to mention a few examples, in this article will be presented a hurried flight over some hysterical moments of our repertoire, that were irreverent at its time and still could be nowadays, if the necessary mischief and actoral and scenic resources are applied.



Keywords: Mexican theater, satire, drama
