This book examines troupes, plays, festivals, performative practices, and audiences active during the final years of the Franco dictatorship and the beginning of the transition to democracy. This period, spanning 1968 to 1982, is considered the historical moment that most directly shaped contemporary Spanish politics and society. The dominant narrative of the Transition has long portrayed it as a normalized, non-confrontational, and consensual process steered by political elites. But the world of Spanish theater tells a very different story--one in which ordinary Spaniards played a vital role in the transition to democracy.

Studies that connect the Spanish 17th and 20th centuries usually do so through a conservative lens, assuming that the blunt imperialism of the early modern age, endlessly glorified by Franco's dictatorship, was a constant in the Spanish imaginary.

Este libro analiza el proceso de formación de una tradición teatral republicana en el periodo 1931-1936. En estos años asistimos a una apreciación simbólica de las obras teatrales del Siglo de Oro en su circulación impresa y en las políticas culturales que fundaron los dos proyectos estrella de la República: Misiones Pedagógicas y La Barraca. Por último, el libro muestra cómo la inestabilidad política y social del periodo republicano impidió que se consensuara un modelo de Teatro Nacional y enfrentó a la sociedad con dos imágenes antagónicas de Lope de Vega en la conmemoración del tricentenario de su muerte en 1935. Desde un acercamiento multidisciplinar que se sirve de metodologías diversas de los estudios literarios, culturales y de performance, se analizan estas iniciativas.
