Some notes on the evolution of theater in Mexico during the twentieth century
Part 3
For Mexico, the first half of the twentieth century is found in the trend build the new ideals that should prevail in their social relationships. The proposals in the art are focused on nationalism, to discover the depth of pre-Hispanic heritage, an identity that would provide significant contributions that would encourage individualism. There is a clear tendency to seek the best of that nationality. The innovations are then directed to a reconstruction of the scene. Scenarios are completely eliminated, allowing the dark and the sounds insinuate situations.
contrast to mid-twentieth century there is finally a concern for the viewer's interaction within the theatrical setting. The theme manages to find a syncretism between past and present. Memories are the real image that tortures, epiphanies and strengths, which lead to action in all cases and are the reference to subjective presence, found in the minds of viewers, as part of a national identity.
The language also serves as a tool to connote that there is a profanity, a sense of social belonging, equality between viewer and actor. Creating links with consciousness, are identified by a particular symbology, which the viewer can recognize and have as an identity.
For half a century in Mexico, the values \u200b\u200bhave degenerated in the big city. The artist's search requires you to cast off, so that in 1954 there is a break with the paternalism the state in pursuit of creative freedom and expression. Youth who have been trained under the tutelage of theater, beginning to show new proposals, that somehow ridicule the social environment, render it vulgar at once human and thus arises a break with nationalism. To this the answer is to reflect, through a neocostumbrismo, social reality at that time prevailing in the world.
Emilio Carballido, dance the turtle dreamed of in his speech dramatist, proposes the recovery of neo-folkloric values. The recovery of common behavioral details in the city, become the elements that cause the reader empathy with the work, feeling recognition and credibility, although not without perceiving that this has meant to ease the growing steadily sinismo author. The works at this time report focusing on how values \u200b\u200bare twisted and broken.
Although some noteworthy is the social time has also demanded their share of artists, are at that moment, as you can see with Elena Garro, a portrait of the struggle for women's rights, does not escape his criticism especially when much of the speech is directed to redeem the female figure, which is a good example of the things that alienated its predecessors. Another difference that implements
Carballido as definitive portrait of the moment is given in urban environment. Description and photo, find a internalization and identification with the public, through the image of the decadence of modernity. Urban issues, is used by the author as a pretext for displaying the degradation of values, the transformation of thought, the simplicity of a decadent society actions can be taken by simple dislike or misrepresentation of others through gossip and lies. The theme has a strong critique to individual values, customs to identify deficiencies exhibited
This is how the arguments are gradually leading to actions, to collect them in an intimate and contemptuous speech, hating the family and its meaning. His estrangement from the common approaches of the theater, let you display everyday aspects that may not even be seen, but which lead to the society by their own rules, a double moral behavior and instincts.
experimental trends, linguistically, as a theme, which had in the theater, soon found followers also. The proposals in this theater is to incorporate in the depictions of everyday life. The show has been a detriment, because since the introduction of cinema fell into detriment. Not reaching large audiences, they begin to deal with proposals that finally propose an experiment stage beyond the 4th wall. Finally theater universal trends have permeated the mood dramatic, although delayed by significant others.
