The committee which awarded Maritza Núñez first prize for her play commented that ``through continuous interchange between realistic dialogue and a series of poetic images, the author confronts historic situations in the manner of fables, besides being historic in a double sense.  On one hand the characters are from history; Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Breton, and Trotsky appear on stage.  But on the other hand, they not only act as individuals, but rather as engines of social movements that change history and express certain points of view about the historical and social meaning of the reality in which they are living and over which they may influence.  This double historical treatment of the characters does not deprive them of the intimacy of their private lives, in which they affect the complex relationship between art and politics.''</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> Other plays by <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#FFFFCC" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="mn.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Maritza Núñez">Maritza Núñez</A></FONT></div> <bR> <div> Solitary Tango  (Tango solitario)</div> <div> <A HREF="gina.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Gina ">Gina (Gina)</A></div> <div> <A HREF="waxchild.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="The Wax Child (La niña de cera )">The Wax Child (La niña de cera )</A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
