El teatro de Luisa Carnés, la voz feminista desde una mirada ideológica

Abstract

Abstract: In a world where political struggle is essential, remembering the fight of   committed women and protagonists of important social transformations is crucial. The social changes that occurred from the late 19th to the early decades of the 1930s in Spain fostered new currents of thought and actions, primarily led by women who defended their rights and questioned inherited gender prototypes. In these times of change, we find Luisa Carnés (1905-1964), a woman silenced for over a century, who, like many, suffered the consequences of war, Francoism, and exile. A journey through author’s dramatic production, from her early theatrical works, whit an emphasis on Carnés’s political work, which serves as a denunciation of the Us- Spanish pact signed in 1953, at a key moment in the Francoist evolution in Spain, during a time of resistance when women are subjugated. Our trajectory includes Carnés’s ideological vision and this relation to the contemporary adaptation of the novel Tea Rooms: mujeres obreras (1934). The adaptation to the Theater turns the stage into a space for dissemination and propaganda of women’s class struggle in those years and serves as a form of social critique.
