History

The group was founded on June 13, 1938,[1] by a group of young people, including the brothers Alejandro, Aurelio and Elvira Miró Quesada, Rosa Graña, Manuel Solari Swayne, Percy Gibson, Ricardo Grau, among others.[2][4] Influenced by the arrival of Margarita Xirgu and the emergence of the autochthonous,[5] she renewed contemporary artistic development.[5] In addition, it fostered the cradle of talents in theater, dance and singing;[6] even before the arrival of institutions dedicated to these skills under the concept of "cultural Tuesdays."[4] Part of the cast managed to stage in other countries such as Spain and France.[4] Among the best known is Enrique Solari Swayne's Collacocha,[7] which was even exhibited at the Gran Teatro del Bosque, in Mexico.[8][9][10][11]
