In spite of the Franco regime censorship, and after an initial
almost total purge that meant exile to many of the top
intellectuals and artists, the evolutionary process of peninsular
Spanish art and culture did not stop to a complete standstill.
During the 40's and 50's a renewal movement took place, and the
three playwrights and their plays included in this volume were of
utmost importance to it. The case of Arrabal, premiered outside the
Spanish borders and in French, though most of his production was
conceived and written initially in Spanish, is a perfect example of
how Spanish literature kept its liveliness, even in exile. These
three plays also share the fact of being tragedies, a very uncommon
characteristic in Spanish theatre, specially so during the years in
which comedy ruled as a very convenient way of escaping the
dramatic socio-political surrounding reality. The renewal impulse
in Spanish theatre started in 1945. That year the -Arte Nuevo-
group was established, and in 1949 -Teatro de Vanguardia. 15 obras
de Arte Nuevo- was published. Avant garde theatre New Art during
the 40's in Franco's Spain The renewed and open-minded theatrical
context that emerged in the stifled climate of the Franco Spain of
the 40's, the so called -black decade-, is noticeably present in
these plays of the Antonio Buero Vallejo, Alfonso Sastre and
Fernando Arrabal production. Sastre, as well as Arrabal and Buero
Vallejo were imprisoned by the regime, and these plays reflect
their respective biographical projections. This volume gathers
these authors' different styles and playwriting -very often
clashing- but whose common constant is the linking of the Spanish
theatre with the international drama tendencies. Along his
introduction professor Victor Fuentes develops a schematic analysis
of the Buero Vallejo, Sastre and Arrabal achievements through drama
experimentation in their respective plays. With this edition we
offer the US reader three fundamental plays of the literary,
cultural and theatrical Spanish -and universal- memory of more than
half a century ago, whilst proposing the deciphering of their
present meanings and projections into the future.
