«Seis personajes en busca de autor; Cada cual a su manera; Esta noche se improvisa» is a play by Luigi Pirandello in paperback.
The three pieces gathered in the volume respond to the idea of the «theater within the theater»: Pirandello breaks with naturalism and blurs the boundaries between reality and fiction. Some characters demand to be represented, a story is duplicated on stage, and a performance is built by improvising, in three variations on identity and representation.
Volume from the Letras Universales collection, 7th edition, edited by Romano Luperini and Miguel Ángel Cuevas. Text in Spanish.
Recommended for the general public and for those who want to approach European theater of the first half of the 20th century.
Luigi Pirandello was an Italian dramatist, novelist, poet, and short story writer most noted for his plays. He was awarded the 1934 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his bold and ingenious revival of dramatic and scenic art". Pirandello's works include novels, hundreds of short stories, and about 40 plays, some of which are written in Sicilian. Pirandello's tragic farces are often seen as forerunners of the Theatre of the Absurd.
