Brinton, is a unique theatrical work composed in a blended dialect that reflects the cultural interactions between indigenous Nicaraguans and Spanish colonists. Likely written in the early 19th century, this performance piece incorporates elements of humor and satire, centering around the character Güegüence, who embodies a clever trickster figure resonant with both indigenous and colonial themes. The opening of the work sets the stage with a lively introduction involving the main characters, the Governor Tastuanes and the Chief Alguacil, engaging in a dialog interspersed with dance. They discuss the lack of appropriate accoutrements for the Royal Court's proceedings and express frustration over their impoverished state, hinting at social critiques. This initial scene establishes the comedic and political undertones of the narrative, hinting at the humor derived from misunderstandings and the playful engagement with authority, which is crucial to the character of Güegüence as the story unfolds.
