About

Stemming from a principal focus on Golden Age theater, my studies have shifted over the course of my career, all the while maintaining a strong connection to drama. Transitioning from Lope de Vega and Calderón de la Barca during my undergraduate years to Antonio Buero Vallejo and Alfonso Sastre during my Master’s program, I am presently studying the theatrical works of Ramón del Valle-Inclán in conjunction with those of Miguel de Unamuno. My goal is to reconnect Spanish playwrights, artists, and novelists with the major philosophical currents of the day (existentialism, the absurd, etc.). At the moment, I am focusing on Valle-Inclán’s esperpentos, attempting to justify them as the result of religious and philosophical disillusionment.
