La Barraca. Teatro y Universidad. Ayer y hoy de una utopía (eBook)

This book contains both the theatrical project as the exhibition La Barraca. Theatre and University. Yesterday and today a utopia which recovered and spreaded the memory of an exciting and much needed initiative in the 1930s Spain, when the distance between the Spaniards of the cities and the rural areas was almost insurmountable. Originally La Barraca was driven and directed by Federico Garcia Lorca and Eduardo Ugarte. It counted simultaneously with two brothers: the People's Theater of the Educational Missions, led by Alejandro Casona, and the owl, University Theater of Valencia, whose head was Max Aub. All three were born with a similar spirit, to bring the Spanish classical theater and the works of young playwrights to rural areas, so far from the nuclei where swarmed the components that made this period one of the cultural and artistic moments richest in our recent history.

Available in Spanish.
