It explores the relationships between the mentioned authors and the Hispanic communities of New York City, principally the process of how history and memories of these communities are reflected in a theatrical repertoire. On the other hand, Desde el margen explores four cultural and social performances performed on streets by neighbors or social activists reviewing the organization of these performances developed by Hispanic groups.</p> <p>The hypothesis of this research is that in the alternative Hispanic theater there are works that reflect Hispanic peripherical groups and that performing arts and theater are social tools. The dissertation’s theoretical framework are Performance Studies and Latinx Studies.</p>
