- Title

- Abstract
The historical context of World War II and the migratory dynamics in the first decades of the XX century in Costa Rica become the background in the play La víspera del Sábado (Saturday Eve) by Samuel Rovinski (San José, 1980. Montréal, 1983). Such references allow to disturb the cultural encounter in two dimensions: in first place, the way in which the Jewish migrants are met and identified by Costa Rican society, the related stereotypes and the effort made within the family to save tradition; secondly, the opportunity to count on a "universal fellowship" in an era full of violence, xenophobia and political manipulation, which is the timefra-me of the story (December 1941 and July 1942).
