Through two pieces that can be read as a single work, the author delves into the commissions he receives and how they lead him to confront his own history. With a gaze far removed from sentimentality, Remón turns the uncertainty of the creative process into a testimony on loss and family heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is composed of two works that function as a diptych. In \u003cem\u003eDoña Rosita, annotated\u003c\/em\u003e, the author is commissioned to adapt the play by Federico García Lorca. Initially skeptical, Remón discovers that the story of a single woman in early 20th-century Granada serves as a bridge to talk about the women who raised him: his grandmother, his great-aunts, and, finally, his mother, who passed away when he was a child. In \u003cem\u003eThe Author and Uncertainty\u003c\/em\u003e, the assignment is to write a play about the lockdown while it is happening. What begins as a testimony of the pandemic becomes a roundabout way to address the figure of the father. Thus, \u003cem\u003eGhosts\u003c\/em\u003e is presented as a book with two sides, mother and father, two ghosts that accompany the author in his writing process and in his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFamily memory and the construction of identity based on parental figures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe creative process and the author's uncertainty when faced with artistic commissions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLiterary adaptation as a vehicle for personal and autobiographical exploration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLoss and grief, approached from a restrained and non-sentimental perspective.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe duality between the public (the commission) and the private (personal history).\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 readers interested in contemporary theater and current dramaturgy.

Pablo Remón succeeds in building a diptych where theater becomes a space for inquiry into memory and loss, without falling into sentimentality. The formal proposal, which allows the two pieces to be read as a single story, enriches the reader's experience and offers a coherent reflection on family bonds. It is a recommended read for those looking for contemporary theater that engages in a dialogue with tradition and with life itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EDICIONES LA UÑA ROTA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53407431557467,"sku":"9788495291943","price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978849529194.jpg?v=1781855622","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788495291943","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
