Enjoy the Theatre with Insolation by Emilia Pardo Bazán

This March 27th, World Theatre Day, we honor the writer Emilia Pardo Bazán (1851-1921) on the centenary of her death. We invite you to enjoy the play Insolación through the "Teatroteca" - free access after registering as a user - and then join us in a talk about the play and its author.

Insolación talks about the meeting of two Spanish latitudes, the north and the south, as a metaphor for the prevailing social classes in Spain at the end of the nineteenth century. The aristocratic class and its strict social laws against the more popular Spain with a freer morality. The author presents the meeting between the Galician Marchioness of Andrade and the handsome Pacheco from Cadiz, who comes to break the peaceful and affluent life of the Marchioness.

To access the online meeting it is essential to register through the library's email.
