La primera obra de temática migratoria en el teatro mexicano : Los que vuelven, de Juan Bustillo Oro

Abstract

The Teatro de Ahora (1932) was created by Juan Bustillo Oro and Mauricio Magdaleno with the purpose of putting on stage the socio-political issues that affected Mexico after the civil war period called the Mexican Revolution. These two authors wrote and produced plays that have become classics of engaged theatre. Los que vuelven stages the suffering of those Mexican workers who had emigrated to the US and then, as a consequence of the Great Depression, deported in a very inhuman manner.
