- PublicationConstruir entre líneas. El espacio arquitectónico en la obra teatral de Federico García Lorca(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2021-01-12) Jara Calabuig, Aaron; Bonet Solves, Victoria Eugenia; Nieto Edo, Francisco José; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Dpto. de Composición Arquitectónica[EN] Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) was one of the most important writers of Spanish literature of the 20th century. In addition to poetry, he wrote several theatre plays, often with educational aims. His particular viewpoint, influenced by rural and urban experiences, inspired scenographic designs with high aesthetic and compositional value. Thanks to the collaboration of artists such as José Caballero, Manuel Fontanals, Siegfried Burmann or Santiago Ontañón, Lorca's productions avoided traditional designs and opted for more sophisticated works. From La Barraca performances to commercial successes, his scenography was always characterized by being subtle and innovative. This research work analyzes the original projects of Bodas de sangre (1933) and Yerma (1934), as well as other stagings after author's death. Through the compilation of documentary material and the elaboration of plans and technical models, a complete vision of each proposal is offered, taking into account the design criteria and the construction processes. In summary, the study confirms how, through architecture and the visual arts, the scenography was able to materialize each of the spaces collected in Lorca¿s plays.
- PublicationUrban stages: when cities and architecture become a theatre(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-05-22) Jara Calabuig, Aaron[EN] Throughout history, the theatre has played a decisive part in urban space configuration, not only because of the location of theatre buildings within the city. Outdoor performances in squares, streets and community facilities have also assumed an essential role in the organisation of public space. In this sense, touring theatre must be understood as a resource for transforming and revitalising cities. Festivals such as Avignon, Bilbao and Tàrrega are clear examples of how theatre can appropriate the urban or architectural context and generate new atmospheres. The study of these three cases aims to show how performing practice finds or makes its place in the city, adapting itself to existing urban structures and enhancing their value. In addition, the purpose is also to analyse some buildings and public places that have been designed with an evident scenographic vocation. From Piazza di Sant’Ignazio (Rome) to Can Sau (Olot, Girona), several constructions are conceived as street stages, where everyday life becomes a live performance.
- PublicationThe original set designs for Bodas de sangre and Yerma: written and built spaces(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-10-31) Jara Calabuig, Aaron[EN] Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) was one of the most influential writers of Spanish literature of the 20th century. His particular point of view, influenced by rural and urban experiences, inspired set designs with high aesthetic and compositional value. This research analyzes the original stagings of Bodas de sangre in the Teatro Beatriz (Madrid, 1933) and Yerma in the Teatro Español (Madrid, 1934). Compiling documentary material and preparing plans and technical models offer a complete view of each proposal, considering the design criteria and construction processes of those designs for which information is available today. Studying the set designers responsible for each project is also relevant. Manuel Fontanals, Santiago Ontañón, and Siegfried Burmann were leading figures in Spanish and foreign theatrical plastic art during the Second Spanish Republic and the following years. In summary, the study shows how the designs for each scenic space were created, analyzing both their compositional and technical details and the transformation process from the written space to the built one. After all, set design is a discipline belonging to ephemeral architecture, which aims to generate atmospheres and structures with a short useful life but with aesthetic, functional, and stability requirements.
