La gringa, first performed in 1904, is one of the plays that form the rural trilogy of Florencio Sanchez. The title is the feminine form of “el gringo,” and although the term is used to designate people from the United Sates nowadays, during the XIX it referred mainly to the immigrants from Italy. In La gringa, the expression is referring to the italian immigrants since the italian immigration was predominant in Rio de la Plata by the time the play was written. There is a constant conflict between Cantalicio, the old gaucho, lazy and attached to the old ideologies, and don Nicola, the hard working gringo whose only concern is to economize money. “La gringa” is Victoria, the daughter of the gringo don Nicola, who falls in love with Prospero, the son of the gaucho Cantalicio. This love of Prospero and Victoria brings harmony to these profound cultural differences, and the baby they are expecting, the descendent of pure gauchos and pure gringos, will be the strong race of the future. The hope for prosperity and victory, like the names of the young couple, and a hope for a regeneration of the country is what everyone is hoping and expecting from this child of the pampas.
