CONJUNTO was Cuba's premier theater magazine, published by Casa de las Américas from 1964 onward, dedicated to Latin American and Caribbean theatrical culture. Issue No. 51 features a striking cover design by Ramón Melián depicting two figures engaged in a domino game, rendered in a bold graphic style with a vibrant yellow-orange background covered in black polka dots. The illustration uses a limited but powerful color palette—blue, green, red, and earth tones—creating a dynamic composition that captures both the popular culture of Latin America and the social nature of theater as a collective art form.
Under the direction of Manuel Galich, CONJUNTO served as a critical platform for disseminating studies, theoretical essays, and information about Latin American theatrical movements. The magazine explicitly aimed to stimulate cultural expressions of Latin America, particularly those emphasizing Latin American identity, and to provide a forum for diffusing theatrical work and breaking communication barriers among Latin American theater artists. This issue includes essays on pre-Cortesian theater survivals in Mexico, interviews with theater groups like El Triángulo, and reports on theater and politics in the works of various Latin American playwrights, exemplifying the magazine's mission to document and theorize contemporary Latin American theater practice while connecting it to indigenous and colonial theatrical traditions.
