We will analyze how, through the play, Arlt addresses the critique of institutions and capitalist idiosyncrasy, reflecting the marginal characters’ struggle to thrive. The analysis focuses on how Arlt portrays the struggle of these marginal characters, who, despite their efforts, end up becoming victims of modernity. This dynamic is manifested in the  representation of life as a farce, where appearances and illusions play a crucial role. Likewise, a comparison is established between the notions described above and The Rainbow of Desire (2022) by Augusto Boal. Ultimately, this article seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of Arlt’s legacy in the context of Argentine theater and its relevance in contemporaneity. El presente artículo se centra en el análisis de la obra teatral inédita Ursaverio (2023) de Roberto Arlt y explora su intertextualidad con Saverio el cruel y los temas recurrentes en su producción, como la farsa, la locura, la metateatralidad y el grotesco criollo. Se analizará cómo, a través de la obra, Arlt aborda la crítica a las instituciones y a la idiosincrasia capitalista, reflejando la lucha de los personajes marginales por medrar. El análisis se enfoca en cómo el autor retrata la lucha de estos personajes, quienes, a pesar de sus esfuerzos, terminan por ser víctimas de la modernidad. Esta dinámica se manifiesta en la representación de la vida como una farsa, en donde las apariencias y las ilusiones juegan un papel crucial. Asimismo, se establece una comparación entre las nociones antes descritas y El arcoíris del deseo (2022) de Augusto Boal. En última instancia, este artículo busca contribuir a una comprensión más profunda del legado de Arlt en el contexto del teatro argentino y su relevancia en la contemporaneidad.
