Through rigorous analysis, the author examines how pantomime emerged as a theatrical form that connected with classical drama while simultaneously standing in direct opposition to naturalism. The study reveals how this genre forged a new model of actor, displacing grandiloquent oratory to turn the body and face into vehicles of total significance. An essential read for understanding the evolution of theatre and its expressive languages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book addresses drama without words, or pantomime, as a privileged genre that allowed for the renewal of the Spanish theatrical scene. It analyzes how this dramatic form linked with the classical tradition while establishing a direct opposition to the dominant naturalist theatre. In this context, pantomime is presented as a crucial link in the forging of a new actor, who had to dispense with verbal rhetoric and express themselves solely through body language and facial expression. The work examines the contributions of key authors such as Benavente, Gómez de la Serna, Martínez Sierra, Tomás Borrás, and García Lorca, among others, showing how each contributed to the evolution and richness of the genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDevelopment of drama without words as a theatrical genre.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRe-theatricalization of the Spanish stage against naturalism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eEvolution of the actor's body language and facial expression.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of pantomime as a link between classical drama and scenic modernity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eContributions by authors such as Benavente, Gómez de la Serna, Martínez Sierra, Tomás Borrás, and García Lorca.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at students, researchers, and professionals of the performing arts, as well as any reader interested in the history of theatre, dramaturgy, and non-verbal forms of expression.
