63-75 pp. The construction of the corpus of dramatic literature in the northern portion of Mexico has had a symbolic and referential load decanted from the very reality that produces and surrounds it. Perhaps because of its high value of social and political criticism or because of its natural condition of literature written to be performed, the theatrical genre in Latin America and specifically that produced by Mexican authors, allows us to appreciate a close contact with the history of everyday life; that is, with the daily matter that in turn influences a greater and more effective reception of the spectacular text because it recognizes in the exposition raised, aspects of close references. In this sense, for its part, the complex and historical relationship of interdependence of the United States with Mexico, strengthened by the migratory character of the former as an entity of reception of labor force, establishes multiple referential guidelines that playwrights have taken advantage of for the writing of their texts. In recent decades, texts have been written in this part of the country that have attracted the attention of national and international critics, which make social or political denunciations, but also experiment with writing forms and language. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the general qualities of some pieces written in that geography.
