L'obra de Brossa, artista renovador del llenguatge, suposa un trencaclosques d'escenes diferents que, en aquest cas, recreen el llenguatge i els costums populars. El dia del profeta està protagonitzat, entre altres, per uns lampistes que viuen una situació còmica quan miren d'arreglar uns llums per al profeta Amós que, al segle VIII abans de Crist, s'enfronta al poder polític. També unes velles que amaguen un secret terrible a casa seva, i altres protagonistes són Sa Eminència i Sa Excel·lència, símbols de la manipulació que duien a terme les forces religioses i polítiques en temps del franquisme. Text profundament anticlerical i antiautoritari que recull i sintetitza els termes més recurrents del seu teatre.

In The Aesthetics of the Ephemeral, Jennifer Duprey examines five contemporary plays from Barcelona: Olors and Testament by Josep Maria Benet i Jornet, Antígona by Jordi Coca, Forasters by Sergi Belbel, and Temptació by Carles Batlle. She argues that in both the theatrical text and its performance an aesthetics of the ephemeral materializes that is related to specific manifestations of cultural and historical memory in Spain and Catalonia. These manifestations of memory include historical concerns such as the possibility of another form of justice in predicaments of violence after the Civil War, and they also include contemporary issues such as the production of ruins by the processes of gentrification in Barcelona, the complexity of immigration in Spain, and the destruction or preservation of Catalan cultural legacies. In her analysis of these topics, Duprey engages and expands on theories related to questions of subjectivity and identity in late modernity. This book will be of interest to those concerned with Iberian cultural studies and with how theater reflects on and contributes to contemporary political dialogue.

Terrorism has long been a part of Spanish history, although the 1990s and early 21st century brought some changes in terms of who committed the attacks – and how. Other changes that took place at this time include the increasing openness about terrorism in theatre. What is it about this time period that led to the new ways of discussing and approaching violence/terrorism? Was it more frequent – or simply less covert?This book examines the intersection of violence and theatre in Spain, in addition to the role this cultural combination plays on the identity and quotidian experience of the Spanish people, through the study of dramas by contemporary playwrights such as Jordi Galceran, Sergi Belbel, and more.
