El artículo busca dar cuenta del proyecto indigenista del escritor ecuatoriano Jorge Icaza (Quito, 1906-1978) a partir de la exploración de una obra menor y relativamente poco conocida del autor: la pieza teatral Flagelo. Escrita presuntamente en 1932 y publicada por primera vez en 1936, Flagelo bien puede tomarse como la puerta de acceso al indigenismo icaciano, entendido este como una delimitación específica al interior del llamado “realismo social ecuatoriano”. Se procura hacer una lectura que exponga los procedimientos y conflictos que dan origen a la obra en cuestión, a la vez que permita establecer su carácter ideologizado y político, sin por ello hacer menoscabo de su trabazón artística y sus particulares aciertos como producto escénico.
This article seeks to account for the indigenist project of Ecuadorian writer Jorge Icaza (Quito, 1906-1978) by exploring a minor and relatively little known work of the author: the play Flagelo. Presumably written in 1932 and published for the first time in 1936, Flagelo may well be taken as the gateway to Icaza’s indigenism, understood as a specific delimitation within “Ecuadorian social realism”. An attempt is made to provide a reading that exposes the procedures and conflicts that give rise to the work in question, while allowing to establish its ideologized and political character, without undermining its artistic workmanship and its particular successes as a scenic product.
