Coronada y el toro (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, with many of whom he interacted (Ionesco, Genet, Brecht, Grotowski, et al.), Nieva’s recognition was unduly delayed within Spain and, on the international scene, his name remains eclipsed by playwrights such as Federico García 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, Nieva’s theatre is as complex as it is innovative in its combination of resources from a wide range of artistic trends, from the género chico to the Baroque to postmodernism. Coronada y el toro is a sophisticated masterpiece, rich in intertextuality, humour, and suspense.
Coronada y el toro (Coronada and the Bull) is a play written in 1974 by Francisco Morales Nieva (1924-2016), arguably Spain's most important contemporary playwright.
The Cultural Politics of Twentieth-Century Spanish Theater argues that twentieth-century artists used the Golden Age Eucharist plays called autos sacramentales to reassess the way politics and the arts interact in the Spanish nation’s past and present, and to posit new ideas for future relations between the state and the national culture industry. The book traces the phenomenon of the twentieth-century auto to show how theater practitioners revisited this national genre to manifest different, oftentimes opposing, ideological and aesthetic agendas. It follows the auto from the avant-garde stagings and rewritings of the form in the early twentieth century, to the Francoist productions by the Teatro Nacional de la Falange, to postmodern parodies of the form in the era following Franco’s death to demonstrate how twentieth-century Spanish dramatists use the auto in their reassessment of the nation’s political and artistic past, and as a way of envisioning its future.
Francisco Nieva and Postmodernist Theatre will engage with and advance the debate on the viability of postmodernist theatre in general by presenting the works of Francisco Nieva as a bona-fide postmodernist theatre formulated on avant-garde foundations.The study will also redefine the existing historical boundaries of literary postmodernism by asserting Spain's role in shaping that history through the 1940s neo-avant-garde Movement, Postismo. The author argues that Postismo is the earliest systematic manifestation in the Iberian Peninsula of literary postmodernism as we know it, a fact often ignored on account of Franco's suppression of it, and that Nieva is not only Postismo's chief proponent but also the only legitimate postist playwright.

Los artículos que componen el presente volumen, fruto de las Jornadas Internacionales del mismo título, se centran en el estudio y discusión de algunas de las formas teatrales que podrían ubicarse bajo el polisémico epígrafe de teatro de vanguardia, y suponen un acercamiento crítico a la complejidad de las vertientes dramáticas contemporáneas. El libro se estructura en diferentes apartados, que van desde las reflexiones teóricas de índole global o general, o acerca de la coexistencia de lo teatral con otras facetas artísticas, para pasar a incidir más adelante sobre la escena vanguardista en diferentes ámbitos, principalmente en los países de lengua española, francesa e inglesa. En definitiva, la obra viene a demostrar la riqueza y la versatilidad referencial que la experimentación de las vanguardias ha insuflado al Arte de Talía en el siglo XX, manifestando así que el teatro es un fenómeno vivo y dinámico, y por lo tanto, proteico. Que se alce, pues, el telón, para dejar paso a las disquisiciones teatrales que aquí se contienen, con la certeza shakespeareana de que el mundo es un escenario.
