Pierrot/Lorca

En “El payaso y la filosofía”, María Zambrano reflexiona sobre la actuación de uno de los artistas clown más importantes del siglo XX, en Europa: Grock. En este texto, encuentra una similitud entre el filósofo y el payaso. Aunque se trata de un tema poco recurrente en la obra de esta pensadora, la vincula a los intelectuales de la Generación del 27, que dio lugar a “una nueva edad de oro” en la literatura española, porque algunos de sus miembros mostraron alto interés por los clowns, entre ellos Federico García Lorca, León Felipe y Rafael Alberti, así como algunos de los que pertenecieron a la llamada “otra” generación del 27, como Ramón Gómez de la Serna. Así, este trabajo trata sobre cómo, en un tiempo anterior a la Guerra Civil española, estos intelectuales encontraron, en la figura cómica, oportunidad para hablar de la lucha por la libertad y de una nueva dimensión de la experiencia humana.

As perhaps no other of Federico García Lorca’s works for the stage, his unfinished and posthumously published play El público (“the public” or “the audience”) stands out for its formal difficulty and idiosyncrasy: called unstageable and “a poem to be booed at” by Lorca, El público is an iconoclastic metatheatrical drama that draws on international vanguardist desires to offend rather than to entertain audiences. However, few commentators have explicitly connected the play’s radical vision for the theatre to its concern with queer representation, or what I call queer visibility. This article argues that El público self-consciously dramatizes a search for a modern theatre by reflecting on the spectator’s ability to see and endure queer visibility on stage. Applying an unapologetically queer reading to the play’s absorption of international influences, this article also aims to recover El público for the canon of queer modernist drama.
