A talk by Laura Paz Rescala, Università Ca' Foscari di Venezia / Tulane University Marie S. Curie Fellow.
This talk examines the commercial ventures that, from the mid-sixteenth century, enabled the rise of professional theater in Spain and the American viceroyalties. It focuses on how theatrical companies evolved into corporate entities that offered members vital security, opening the stage to individuals previously excluded by class, education, or gender. The revolution of modern Spanish theater, it argues, lay less in singular works or authors than in the collective structures that sustained the emergence of new talent.
