SPA 358 - Twentieth and Twenty-first Century Spanish Theatre and Performance


Instructors
Pasero-O’Malley

This course surveys foundational plays and performance groups from the Spanish theatre landscape of early twentieth-century Spain through to the present day. We will explore the efforts made at innovation in playwrighting and stagecraft, examining how these works respond in critical and aesthetic fashion to the artistic, political, and social contexts in which they were produced. We will employ the language and terminology of theatre analysis in order to better appreciate dramatic textual construction, at the same time engaging with staging and performance production as determining factors to better understand the totality of the theatre experience.

Conducted in Spanish.
