They release Rodolfo Usigli Pocket versions

The complex and ridiculous nature of the society of its time, the mysterious paths of the Mexican political world, the struggle of women to reach education, and the breaking of the structure of the family and killing as a kind of art.

These are the topics of taboos that reveal, in a brilliant and embarrassing way, the work of the playwright, poet, novelist and diplomat of Rudolfo Ocegley (1905-1979), who is considered the father of the modern Mexican theater, who is now looking for new readers, younger and different social classes.

His legacy is more valid than ever. Topics he addressed since 1931, when he published the theater piece The MessengerUntil 1973, with his novel BlurThey are still in the interest of the Mexicans. That is why it is necessary to release his work in new formats, says Alejandro Ocegley, the son of the author who participated in a time with contemporaries, although he does not want to integrate this group.

Respond to this anxiety for the Usigli family, Economic Culture Fund (FCE)He concluded by whom he published Complete theater In five volumes between 1963 and 2005, Reddita Gesture (1938) and the novel Crime test (1944) In the popular group, coordinating his pocket ensures that it can be accessed to the entire audience.

The idea is that they are published, separately, that is, allowing them to generalize on their own, and the most representative business of my father in the form of a pocket, so that everyone can carry them with them easily. We are in talks with the publisher to see if each theater is listed in this coordination, “he says.

The theatrical actor and films admit that USigli reaches “a little forgotten” to the twelfth anniversary of his birth, which is celebrated on November 17. “Of the 38 plays he wrote, there is a lot that has not been transferred to the theater, such as, such as The great circus in the world (1950-1968). And others, the most famous, need new montage. “

And he confirms that his father’s hair is also re -released, and it is collected in books Desperate conversation (1938) y Time and death (1954); As well as in the title after his death Time and memory in a desperate conversation (1981), which includes an introduction to the poet Jose Emilio Pacico.

In 1971, when he returned to Mexico, he transferred his life poems, from which he wrote in the thirties of the last century. Hair was always something inside. “This treasure” was the second secretary of the Mexico Embassy in Paris, and later, the Lebanon and Norway ambassador.

Another slope, which is the cultural promoter, is indexing and shelter in one place in his parents ’library, his books, documents, pictures and correspondence.

A part of the National Center for Research, Documents and Information has been donated. But most of them are distributed in the homes of two children. We asked for support through scholarships for indexing, but there was no response. And I think we will do it alone, despite little by little. “

alejandro usigli It indicates that they are planning to propose cultural authorities, after requesting the support of the theatrical community, that his father’s remains be transferred to the brilliant people’s roundabout.

Now they are at the Del Angel Bantheon shrine. Before his death, he asked to be Epitap: “Here he is lying and waiting for the stage of the theater.” But we were unable to fulfill this desire, because it is in the states only allows names and dates. We’ll see whether their policies, after the epidemic, have changed, to the least he wants. “

He who remembers Don Rudolfo Osigli as “a shy man and a consent is a consent, who wanted to give his children everything he lacks in his childhood”, and restores him as one of the most important writers in the country, and concludes that “culture in Mexico is in fact a resistance profession.

But he was the father of the resistance and we will follow his example. “
