José Bergamín and his Theater in France

Abstract

José Bergamín’s theater during his exile in France goes from 1954 to 1970. During these years, he wrote four interesting plays to talk about, with subjects found inthe Spanish "Siglo de Oro" –the "lopesca" Gatomaquia–; from the Greek mythology – La sangre de Antígona and Donde una voz se apaga–; or from Baudelaire’s poem, La cama, tumba del sueño o El dormitorio. The relevance of this author of the Generation of the 27th in his stay in Paris is also evident in the translations and performances during those years in France. It is interesting to see that influence in his last dramatic plays, some of them were even written in French.
