Esperpento
The definition of the genuine creation of Ramón María del Valle-Inclan, appears in the dialogue of two characters in the play:
MAX: "The ultraists are frauds. The Goya has forged esperpentismo. Classical heroes have gone for a walk in the Alley Cat. DON LATINO: - You are completely Kurdish! MAX - Classical heroes reflected in the concave mirrors give Esperpento. The tragic sense of English life can only come with a beauty systematically distorted.
does away Valley English drama with this work that revolutionizes the basis of gender. First things first.
1 - In classical tragedy, the heroes are seen as being admirable, in the realistic theater, are presented as equals to the author and the viewer; Valley looks on as if in height, ie, distant.
2 - The main characters or heroes, dealing with his presence the whole work. Luces de Bohemia, the protagonist dies at the scene 13, but the work continues until 15.
3 - The characters are all despicable, including the protagonist himself, who accepts money from his former friend the minister "on behalf of two women in need", but then you spend with your partner on the town. Figures Only
his wife and daughter, the Catalan workers imprisoned and later executed, and the mother who mourns the death of his son by the police, show a dignity that is beyond mediocrity and the baseness of this world-inclaniano valley.
4-The author's annotations to the description and staging beyond the conventional, reaching an extraordinary level of literary quality. For example:
SCENE II
Zarathustra's cave in the parapet of the Councils. Piles of rubble and books do cover the walls. Papering the four panes of a four chrome door lurid soap opera serials. Gathering in the cave have a cat, a parrot, the dog and the bookseller, Zarathustra, Abich and hunchback-face rancid bacon and green scarf snake, promotes, with its characterization of the puppet, a very sharp and painful dissonance emotional and very modern Shrunk the ball broke a chair dwarf with foot entrapped and Cepón brazier on stage, save the store. A mouse gets the intriguing nose through a hole.
There are details here that are not typical of a conventional introduction to a theatrical scene. The audience, from a certain row, are not authorized to view "the four picture cards of a lurid soap opera serials" papering the door of the store. The "face of rancid bacon and green scarf snake" descriptions are poetic and symbolic interpretation overloaded with a richness that goes beyond the senses. Is also invisible to the viewer away from the mouse that "brings out the intriguing nose through a hole."
Aesthetics of tragedy.
Despite the smile to surface in the face of caricatures and situations Luces de Bohemia, is the smile (and even less laughter), which completes the catharsis of humor, good humor. It is a humorous one, bitter, harsh, disguised and distorted, yes, but it's like a bad-tasting medicine diluted in a glass of water. Under
deformation of Spain presents Valley, lies a fierce critique, a visceral rejection to the country's situation, given the intellectual and human misery of its inhabitants, from the prostitute to the Minister, where the only ones who deserve to be called worthy, suffer and are killed. This critique of reality, reaches its rawest exhibition, dialogue between fourteenth gravediggers scene: a gravedigger
.- This subject was a man of the pen. OTHER
Gravedigger .- Poor funeral has been!
a gravedigger .- The papers they put a man of merit. OTHER
Gravedigger .- In Spain, the merit is not rewarded. Rewarding stealing and being shameless. In Spain, everything bad is rewarded.
a gravedigger .- Do not put things so black!
But yes, we must make it so black and so exaggerated as the image returned by the distorting mirrors (dark "?) Alley Cat, because as noted by Max Valle Estrella, The tragic sense of life English can only come with a beauty systematically distorted. And even could, on today and with the perspective of years, replacing terms and conditions translate to recognize that in our present, there is still much darkness, shade, and even persists and does not dissipate because the dim lights just enough of a bohemian life that resist in the trenches and barricades (Don Quixote and Max Estrella, Sancho Panza and Don Latino: a comparison in which depth).
