Rodolfo Usigli (M�xico D. F. 1905-1979) consagr� su vida entera al teatro y luch� por dar a conocer al mundo un teatro mexicano, una "comedia humana", un fresco de la historia y de la sociedad mexicanas, porque para �l era el teatro el mundo y el mundo era el teatro , "y todo lo dem�s batalla y di�logo". "El gesticulador" es una de las piezas m�s representadas del teatro mexicano y la m�s significativa de esta dramaturgia. Rebasa, sin embargo, su mexicanidad para alcanzar la universalidad mostrando el enfrentamiento entre el hombre y el poder, entre el hombre y la conciencia de su propia existencia. "El gesticulador" pone en escena y en evidencia el poder del lenguaje sobre el mundo, sobre la sociedad, el poder para crear y subvertir la realidad. Nos advierte que la simulaci�n, la afectaci�n, la m�scara son los signos clave que muestran el lenguaje, la diferencia entre la intenci�n y el sentido, entre la verdad aparente y la mentira escondida.

About the Author

Rodolfo Usigli (1905-79) is considered by many to be Mexico's foremost twentieth-century dramatist. The son of recently arrived European ?migr?s, he lived through the Mexican Revolution and shared the populist and reformist ideals that inspired artists and intellectuals of the postrevolutionary period. Usigli, who was also a poet, novelist, and essayist of distinction, created in his plays a probing and far-reaching interpretive vision of Mexican history, institutions, and cultural values. His widely anthologized El gesticulador (The Impostor) and his Corona de sombra (Crown of Shadows) are regarded as classics in both Mexican and Latin American drama. Recognized with the National Prize for Literature in 1972, he was pronounced by Octavio Paz ?the best [Mexican] playwright in this century.?
