About the Book

In this volume, we are particularly interested in approaching theatre and performance as a dynamic and evolving practice of continuous change, regeneration and cultural mobility. Neither the dramatic texts nor their stage versions should be viewed as finished products but as creative processes in the making. Their richness lies in their unfinished and never-ending potential energy and their openness to constant revision, rehearsal, revival, and collective enterprise. This edited collection aims to create a dialogue on the artistic processes implicated in the various ways of working with the play text, the staging practices, the way audiences and critical reception can impact a production, and the many lives of Iberian theatre beyond the page or the stage. That is, its cultural and social legacies.

Review :
"This book highlights the theater production of the Iberian Peninsula in a very broad spectrum, which is a perspective that is rarely found." Elena Cueto Asín, Bowdoin College ‘This edited collection presents a complementary and balanced view between those who study and those who practice theatre. It encompasses works that implicate a dialogue between the different facets of the play: its staging practices, audience and critical reception, and its legacy. In sum, I recommend this noteworthy collection to anyone interested in the contemporary stage and how it operates through the written word. Those with interest in the notion of adaptation, in the examination of the creative process in the performing arts will also find the volume particularly enticing.’ Julio Vélez Sainz, Performance Research
