Sinopsi

Coronada y el toroá(Coronada and the Bull) is a play written in 1974 by Francisco Morales Nieva (1924-2016), a prominent figure in the history of Spanish theatre. Even though the aesthetic quality of his drama competed with that of his contemporaries, many with whom he interacted (Ionesco, Genet, Brecht, Grotowski, etc.), NievaâÇÖs recognition was unduly delayed within Spain and, on the international scene, his name remains eclipsed by playwrights such as Federico Garc¡a Lorca and Antonio Buero Vallejo. Traditionalist and populist yet cosmopolitan and neo-avant-garde, Nieva began writing plays in the late 1940s but never got the chance to perform any on the commercial stage until 1976, a few months after the death of General Francisco Franco, whose censorship machine forced his work underground. Hard to subject to any single classification, NievaâÇÖs theatre is as complex as it is innovative in its combination of resources from a wide range of artistic trends, from theágénero chicoáto the Baroque to postmodernism.áCoronada y el toroáis a sophisticated masterpiece, rich in intertextuality, humour, and suspense.
