EL TEATRO USED MASKS TO SIGNIFY CHARACTERS IN THEIR ACTOS. HERE LUIS VALDEZ WEARS THE PIG MASK REPRESENTING THE GROWER - OR PATRONCITO - AS THEY CALLED HIM. AGUSTIN LIRA PLAYS THE ROLE OF THE FARMWORKER.

IN THE COURSE OF THIS ACTO, PATRONCITO HAS CONVINCED ESQUIROL TO SWITCHES PLACES WITH HIM IN ORDER TO EXPERIENCE HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO BE A RICH GROWER.
