Abstract

This essay offers a brief analysis of a draft for a play written by two artists, Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo, who distinguished themselves in the cultural panorama of the twentieth century avant-gardes by approaching surrealism to indicate its analogical correspondences and thematic relationships, but also the differences with respect to the movement, each carrying out a parallel and autonomous path especially when they migrate from the European context to Mexico.
