“Fuenteovejuna” Hacia una relectura histórica de los clásicos

Abstract

In the context of the 20th and 21st centuries’ stage production, we identified two important aspects for the study of the acceptance of the classical text and its mise-ensens. On the one hand, the innovative principles of Brecht and his epic theatre, which creates “those thoughts and feelings that play a role in changing society itself” (35), and on the other hand, the thesis of the existence of a postdramatic theatre, also called post-Brechtian, based on the notion of Hans-Thies Lehmann; a “dramatic organism” that is still “present” as a “two-way flourishing memory”, “which refers to the fact that some culture or artistic practice has emerged from the previously unquestionable horizon of modernity”
