‘The impossible theatre’: The Spanish stage at the time of the avant‐garde∗

Abstract

This article offers a general overview of the new Spanish theatre during the twenties and thirties. The first section covers the trends in scenic renovation promoted by Rivas Cherif, Valle‐Inclán and García Lorca, among others, and reviews the main premieres, both in the professional and in the experimental and university fields. The second section attempts to synthesize the ideas derived from the texts of playwrights and critics which could form part of scenic models not applied in their time, attempting to show the parallels between these authors and avant‐garde European theatre of the period.
