Resumen de Emerging from darkness: national and theatrical revision in Jesús Campos García's "Auto Sacramental"
This article demonstrates how Jesús Campos García's 1995 play A ciegas: auto sacro de realismo inverosímil o de la irrealidad verosímil (Aproximadamente) uses the auto sacramental as a vehicle to express content that undermines the genre's original objectives. The play dramatizes the sense of disappointment and dissatisfaction associated with the transition to democracy both in contemporary Spanish history and in the Spanish theater industry. Campos empties the auto of its authoritative ideologies, deregulating outdated doctrines while perpetuating Spain's deeply rooted theatrical traditions.
