Don Mariano Leyva Dominquez (QEPD), Los Mascarones y Teatro Chicano Los Mascarones became the most well known and respected theatre group in Mexico, largely because of the political content of its work, but also because it played a major role in developing linkages with like-minded groups in the United States and across Latin America. It was founded in 1963 at the Prepa No. 6 in downtown Mexico City with five members and a director named Mariano Leyva Dominguez. Their name derived from the masks, or mascaras, that bordered the entrance to the school. . . .
