King Basilio, fearful by what the stars announce to him about his
son Sigismund, locks him up in a tower apart from the rest of the
men. For years, Clotaldo, his guardian, will be his only company.
When a long time later the king makes him return to the palace,
Sigismund's anger causes chaos and a new condemnation of the king
..., but the people will intervene, acclaiming the freedom of
Sigismund against Basilio's will. Life is a dream can be presented
without hesitation as one of the most representative works of
Spanish literature and, without a doubt, as the masterpiece of
CalderÓn de la Barca, clergyman and humanist, who knew how to
answer the dilemma between predestination and free will, one of the
essential themes of baroque thought. Â
