This paper introduces two recent plays by Mexican playwright Luis Enrique Gutiérrez Ortiz Monasterio: Presidio y muerte de Don Guillén de Lampart and Cayendo con Victoriano. Both of them deal with the significant processes of Mexican history which were widely commemorated during the year 2010: the independence from Spain and the Revolution. The aim of this article is to show how, thanks to certain postdramatic and narrative aspects of the texts, both main characters a hero (Lampart) and a villain (Huertas) are presented in a very less black and white way than traditionally, and, even more important, how this theatre claims that the importance of history resides in the reflexion that produces on today´s audience.
