ESPERPENTO Don Ramon del Valle-Inclan of his trilogy "Shrove Tuesday"

A hatchet machismo IBERIAN UNDER GLASS ESPERPENTO

"I'm doing something new, different from my previous works. This theater is not representable for actors. Now I write theater for dolls. It's something that title Esperpentos. This genre I posted Bohemia lights and horns of Don Friolera. It is to find the funny side in the tragedy of life itself. What would be a painful scene, perhaps brutal, for the viewer simply grotesque farce. "

This statement itself Valle- Inclán in an interview to the press serves as a pretext for staging to start our version of a whopping DON HORNS, one of the three "scarecrows" that make his magnum opus Shrove Tuesday.

The story tells how ...

Lieutenant Don Astete Friolera-, receives an anonymous warning him that his wife is cheating on him. Driven mad by jealousy of his frivolous wife, Dona Loreta, chulapo tempted by a halftone and neighbor, the barber Pachequín, and instigated by a malicious neighborhood, plot to avenge. Their daughter, Manolita, enters the scene just as the "cuckold" course will kill the innocent lovers, He taming the wrath of his father. But pressure from his military colleagues obfuscates him in the depths of his pride, and using an ancient code of honor, and pistol in hand, it urges them to commit the crime, shouting ... "In the carabinieri no husbands fuckers!”

This hilarious portrays a grotesque Spain in the early twentieth century in which Valle criticizes the moral prejudices of the loss of honor "horns"; with great irony making fun of their own characters and their behaviors sainetero folletín, in a satirical parody unprecedented, causing cruel laughter and unleashed on the macho tradition of Spanish.

A cruel criticism of their peers encouraging those behaviors, gangland environment and lower classes, the connivance of smugglers and army officers, ultimately a merciless portrait of the deteriorating moral consistency of Spanish society and the environment of frustration after losing the Colonies.

Valle also denies the intellectual and political conservatism of his time, religious prudery, and conservative and proud Spanish literary tradition from his days Calderón:

"In the literature we appear as barbaric bloodthirsty. we are then treated, and you see that we are sheep. "...
