La teatralidad novohispana vista desde los acontecimientos históricos. Del virreinato a la independencia

Abstract

This work tries to observe the most significant changes in the Mexican theatricality from the viceregal era to independence. To this effect, we will go through the most important aspects of New Spanish theater, starting from its relationship with the historical context. We will analyze some theories about the repercussion of genre in colonial times, in order to understand more precisely the real scope of the Baroque bibliography of New Spain. During the colonial era, but already in the eighteenth century we can see how the theater evolves, moved by the change of mentality that is brewing in New Spanish society. Finally, we will observe how the theater changed both, during the revolution for independence and after achieving it, and it will be seen how the theatricality of society also experienced a major change with regard to earlier years
