Les piĂšces perdues du "Nuevo Teatro" : DĂ©couvertes et rĂ©cupĂ©ration dâun avant-gardisme empĂȘchĂ©
Durante los años sesenta y setenta, nace y trata de desarrollarse en España una nueva tendencia escĂ©nica: el Nuevo Teatro. Sin embargo, sus autores deben enfrentarse a la represiĂłn de la censura, a la exclusiĂłn del escenario comercial y al rechazo del pĂșblico general. LĂłpez Mozo, GarcĂa Pintado, Ruibal, MartĂnez Mediero o Bellido vieron cĂłmo muchas de sus creaciones mĂĄs vanguardistas, experimentales y crĂticas quedaron sepultadas en las cajas de los depĂłsitos gubernamentales o en los cajones de sus casas. Se trata aquĂ de exponer el trabajo de investigaciĂłn llevado a cabo para rescatar estas obras inĂ©ditas y desconocida
LâallĂ©gorie de la dictature et de la libertĂ© dans El Ășltimo gallinero de Manuel MartĂnez Mediero (1968)
National audienceEn 1968, Manuel Mart\'inez Mediero, lâun des > auteurs du mouvement du Nouveau ThĂ©Ăątre Espagnol qui sâest dĂ©veloppĂ© Ă la fin du franquisme et au dĂ©but de la Transition, Ă©crit sa premiĂšre fable de caractĂšre Ă©sopique, El Ășltimo gallinero. Ă la lumiĂšre de la situation politique de la fin des annĂ©es 1960 âpĂ©riode de crise pour la dictatureâ, cette piĂšce se prĂ©sente comme une allĂ©gorie politique de lâabsence de libertĂ©. Le lieu symbolique du poulailler appara\â±t comme un microcosme de lâEspagne dâalors, dont les personnages zoomorphes incarnent le chef tyrannique, les forces de lâordre, lâintellectuel censurĂ©, le peuple conservateur, lâaristocratie monarchique, la jeunesse de gauche et la figure libertaire rĂ©volutionnaire. Lâhistoire de ces gallinacĂ©s privĂ©s de libertĂ© reflĂšte, symboliquement, celle des Espagnols pendant les annĂ©es technocratiques du franquisme
El nuevo teatro en su entorno: Elementos para su contextualizaciĂłn
The âNew Spanish Theatreâ is a little-known theatrical movement. It appeared at the end of the 60âs, under Francoâs dictatorial government, and marked a break from the previous generation called âRealistsâ. It comprises different pieces of work by engaged authors excluded from the public stage due to various political and economic reasons. These were characterized by an avant-garde esthetics, close to absurd and symbolism theatre. Because they were usually neither played nor published, they often did not reach the public. Still, the youngest writers of the âNew Theatreâ try to expand their movement through independent groups, alternative circuits or festivals. The audience attending the few shows was very different from those usually going to national and commercial theatre; they were searching for an alternative theatre, esthetically new and politically engaged. By these means, the âNew Spanish Theatreâ hoped not to remain in the absurd state of «text theatre».El Nuevo teatro en España es una tendencia literaria poco conocida; surge a finales de los años 60 bajo el franquismo y marca una ruptura con la corriente precedente predominante, llamada realista. Abarca las obras de autores comprometidos, marginadas del escenario comercial por varias razones âpolĂticas, econĂłmicas, empresariales. Se caracteriza por su vanguardismo estĂ©tico, que lo aproxima al teatro del absurdo y al simbolismo. Son obras que, en su mayor parte, permanecĂan sin estrenar y a veces sin publicar y que, por consiguiente, no lograban alcanzar al pĂșblico. Sin embargo, los autores de Nuevo teatro intentaron difundir sus obras mediante grupos independientes, circuitos alternativos o festivales. El pĂșblico que acudĂa a las escasas representaciones era generalmente distinto al que iba a los teatros comerciales y nacionales; pedĂa un teatro alternativo, nuevo estĂ©ticamente y polĂticamente comprometido.

La politizaciĂłn del festival de teatro durante el tardofranquismo
Pour les jeunes auteurs exclus de la scĂšne commerciale, le festival de thĂ©Ăątre fut une voie de prĂ©dilection pour atteindre la scĂšne dans la seconde moitiĂ© des annĂ©es 60. Ils virent dans cet Ă©vĂ©nement culturel la possibilitĂ© de contourner la censure qui condamnait la plupart de leurs piĂšces, engagĂ©es socialement et politiquement. La relative permissivitĂ© de la censure dont jouissaient les festivals dans un premier temps fut utilisĂ©e pour diffuser un thĂ©Ăątre acide Ă lâencontre du franquisme. Dans un laps de temps de quelques annĂ©es, le festival, pourtant encouragĂ© par le rĂ©gime, devint un canal de contestation et de reprĂ©sentation dâun thĂ©Ăątre politique. Dans un contexte dâaggravation de la conflictualitĂ© sociale vers 1970, cette prise de conscience progressive de lâAdministration conduisit cette derniĂšre Ă interdire certains spectacles avec davantage de sĂ©vĂ©ritĂ©, en prenant toujours en compte le lieu, la portĂ©e de lâĂ©vĂ©nement, le type de public et son degrĂ© de dangerositĂ©. Cependant, les interdictions nâempĂȘchĂšrent pas les protestations ; au contraire, elles radicalisĂšrent lâopposition dans un contexte de troubles importants qui annonçaient lâagonie dâun rĂ©gime en dĂ©cadence.For the young authors that were marginalised from the commercial stage, theatre festivals appeared to be a preferred way to reach the stage during the second half of the 1960s. They saw in this cultural event an opportunity to get around censorship, that banned most of their politically and socially engaged plays. The relative permissiveness first allowed by censorship in festivals was used to spread a sharp theatre against Francoism. In a few yearsâ time, festivals, yet endorsed by the government, turned out to be a channel for protest and for political theatre performance. As social conflicts aggravated around 1970, the Administration, which progressively realised this situation, started to forbid with more severity some performances, always taking the place, the impact of the event, the kind of audience and its degree of dangerousness into consideration. However, the banning of plays did not prevent protest; on the contrary, it radicalised the opposition in a situation of serious civil disorder that was announcing the agony of a decadent political system.El festival de teatro fue para los jĂłvenes dramaturgos excluidos del escenario comercial una vĂa privilegiada para alcanzar las tablas en la segunda mitad de los años 1960. Estos autores vieron en el evento cultural la posibilidad de sortear la censura que condenaba la mayor parte de sus obras por ser comprometidas social y polĂticamente. La relativa permisividad de la censura de la que gozaban los festivales en un primer momento fue aprovechada para difundir un teatro ĂĄcido para con el rĂ©gimen. En un plazo reducido de unos cuantos años, el festival de teatro, sin embargo fomentado por el rĂ©gimen, se convirtiĂł en un canal de protesta y de representaciĂłn de un teatro polĂtico. En un contexto de agravamiento de la conflictividad social hacia 1970, la progresiva toma de conciencia de la AdministraciĂłn llevĂł a la Junta de Censura a prohibir ciertos espectĂĄculos con mĂĄs severidad, tomando siempre en cuenta el lugar, el alcance del evento, el tipo de pĂșblico y su grado de peligrosidad. Con todo, las prohibiciones no impidieron las protestas; al contrario, radicalizaron a la oposiciĂłn en un contexto de fuertes disturbios que anunciaban la agonĂa de un rĂ©gimen en decadencia
The spanish new drama : politic, cultural and aesthetic resistance of a neo avant-gardist movement (1967-1978)
Cette thĂšse souhaite reconstituer lâhistoire du Nouveau ThĂ©Ăątre Espagnol, courant marginalisĂ© de la scĂšne en son temps, dans une double optique : celle de la diffusion âdans ses multiples aspectsâ et celle de la caractĂ©risation Ă©thique et esthĂ©tique. Incluant aussi les piĂšces censurĂ©es et inĂ©dites, lâĂ©tude propose de faire revivre un mouvement dramatique et scĂ©nique novateur qui sâest dĂ©veloppĂ© en Espagne pendant le franquisme tardif et le dĂ©but de la Transition (1967-1978), artistiquement expĂ©rimental, culturellement anticonformiste, esthĂ©tiquement anti-conventionnel et politiquement antifranquiste. La recherche de nouvelles propositions et de solutions scĂ©niques a provoquĂ© lâapparition dâune nĂ©o-avant-garde Ă la fin de la dictature ; ces productions Ă©taient impossibles Ă contenir dans les limites structurelles du thĂ©Ăątre commercial (Ćuvres classiques, comĂ©dies dâĂ©vasion), ni mĂȘme dans celles des propositions du RĂ©alisme contemporain. La transformation voulue de la scĂšne dramatique passait par une prise de conscience progressive de groupe âmarginalisĂ© de diverses maniĂšresâ ainsi que par la crĂ©ation de nouvelles formes non aristotĂ©liciennes (parfois inspirĂ©es de lâavant-garde scĂ©nique europĂ©enne et amĂ©ricaine) et de nouveaux modes dâexpressions fondĂ©s sur la crĂ©ation langagiĂšre, la provocation verbale, lâallĂ©gorie et le symbole. Ce travail propose une rĂ©flexion sur la dĂ©nomination et le concept mĂȘme du Nouveau ThĂ©Ăątre Espagnol, sur son contexte socio-culturel et politique âdĂ©cisifs pour son essor et son dĂ©veloppementâ et veut offrir une approche dâanalyse stylistique afin de prĂ©ciser les caractĂšres dĂ©finitoires du mouvement.This Ph. D. thesis tries to reconstruct, under a double perspective, the history of the Spanish New Theatre, an artistic manifestation marginalised from the scenes on its times; the essay considers its extent âon multiple aspectsâ and its ethic and aesthetic characterisation. Including also censored and unpublished plays, this study intends to revive an innovative scenic and dramatic movement which developed in Spain during the late Francoism and the early Spanish Transition (1967-1978); it was artistically experimental, culturally non-conformist, aesthetically unconventional and politically anti-Francoist. The search for new scenic propositions and solutions provoked the appearance of a new avant-garde at the end of the dictatorship; its productions were incomprehensible within the structural limits of commercial theatre (classic drama, light comedies) or even contemporary Realismâs propositions. The transformation of the dramatic scene implied a progressive awareness of group âmarginalised in many waysâ and generated the creation of multiple non-Aristotelic forms (sometimes inspired in the European and American avant-gardes); it supposed also new modes of expression based on a creative language, verbal provocation and an extended use of allegory and symbol. These pages propose a reflection about the Spanish New Theatreâs name and very concept, on its socio-cultural and political context âcapital for its birth and developmentâ offering a stylistic analysis approach in order to specify the movementâs defining features
