Work, contributions and influence of the most determined promoter of national theater

Digital version of the exhibition that was originally presented at the Palace of Fine Arts (Palacio de Bellas Artes) during the celebrations for Rodolfo Usigli’s centenary. This exhibition presents materials scattered in different Mexican institutions, as well as the objects and documents that Usigli himself selected for his personal archive (which today is part of the archive of the Miami University, Ohio, USA).

The exhibition is complemented by a bibliography on Usigli’s dramatic work, prepared by researcher Israel Franco. This bibliography is constantly being updated.
