Felipe Ángeles by Elena Garro and Bárbara Colio’s El día más violento are two works that address somewhat dark characters in the history of the Mexican Revolution. Both pieces are about characters that have not been included in the worldview of the revolutionary nationalist apparatus, perhaps because they are women, as in the case of Colio's piece, or for daring to question the triumphs of that gesture, such as the piece on the hidalguense mythical General. Although there is a separation of more than 40 years, the writing of Garro and that of Colio weaves bridges, both in the feminine vision of mexican dramaturgy, and that of the historical heroes and who, despite being rejected, forgotten or marginalized characters, the theater has gradually offered them a little poetic justice.
