Abstract

Society has been faced with several challenges concerning the advent of the Internet, nuclear technology, the commodification of human being, etc. It can be found in several works within the literature of the 20th Century. In this context, it is required to mention José Ricardo Morales 1915-2016, a Spanish-Chilean playwright and writer on both sides of the Atlantic who contributed to the professionalization of theatre in Chile, establishing the Humanistic Theatre, where he anticipated several problems we are now facing in society: totalitarianism, globalization, and technology dependency. Notwithstanding, his work has received little scholarly attention.
