El teatro de Miguel Mihura
252
Speaker(s): Patrizio Rigobon
La obra teatral de Miquel Mihura no es muy amplia
(unas 25 obras) y es muy desigual por lo que a la calidad se
refiere. Autor de gran éxito en su momento (por lo menos hasta los
comienzos de la década de los Sesenta), Miguel Mihura ha sido
considerado por muchos críticos el iniciador del teatro de lo
absurdo en tierras ibéricas. Desde "Tres sombreros de
copa" hasta "Ninette modas de Paris"
trataremos de matizar un poco el concepto mihuriano de lo
"absurdo", no prescindiendo de las necesarias
alusiones a la naturaleza hasta incluso política de su
teatro.
