In this essay I analyze, interpret and evaluate Rastrojos (2013) by Roberto Corella, artistic version of the Huipas tragedy, first serial killers in Sonora, México, 1949. As theoretical and explanatory instrument I make use of Iury Lotman's thesis about culture as a collective and individual memory (remembrance/oblivion) hoping that they will allow us to see from new perspectives the facts, literary translation, plot, motivation and conundrums not answered at its time, and that, given factors as disconfort and shame, were thrown into oversight. The importance of Rastrojos drama lays in the necessity of explanation of enigmas to which Corella has dedicated his research and recreation in drama. Besides the Huipas case, there are other outstanding events transtlated into art that exceed the anecdote and which may function to characterize the features of Sonorans: the influence of The Saint from Cabora, the problematic Chinese expulsión from Sonora, and the emigration to the mexican-american border.
