Este libro es el primero en examinar lo radicalmente nuevo y desafiante Teatro P nico, un grupo de obras compuestas por Arrabal entre 1957 y 1966, en el apogeo del movimiento avant-garde. ENGLISH VERSION This book is the first to examine closely the radically new and challenging Panic Theatre, a group of plays composed by Arrabal between 1957 and 1966, at the zenith of the avant-garde movement. El presente libro estudia el Teatro P nico de Fernando Arrabal, un conjunto de textos concebidos durante los primeros a os del autor en Par s, entre 1957 y 1966. Escritas en el momento de mayor auge de la vanguardia, las obras vehiculan una teatralidad radicalmente innovadora cuya piedra angular la constituye el lenguaje ceremonial. La ceremonia p nica que subyace a toda esa dramaturgia es objeto de un profundo an lisis a la luz de Le Panique, texto program tico del propio Arrabal en que el autor identifica los tres conceptos que desencadenan la creaci n art stica: memoria, azar y confusi n. El estudio se detiene en los procesos por los que la memoria determina que las obras abandonen la m mesis, y el azar articula los materiales recuperados de la memoria en tramas y estructuras hilvanadas con gran precisi n. Asimismo se incide en c mo los sujetos, objetos, marcos espacio-temporales y palabras se ven sometidos a un proceso de confusi n que genera una forma teatral absolutamente innovadora. El concepto de lo p nico, situado en el epicentro de esta experimentaci n formal, dota de coherencia y unicidad te rica a este aparentementeheterog neo grupo de obras.

ENGLISH VERSION The Panic Theatre is a set of plays conceived by Fernando Arrabal between1957 and 1966, the author's first years in Paris. Composed at the zenith of the avant-garde movement, they convey a radically new and challenging theatricality whose cornerstone is their ceremonial shape. The plays' underlying panic ceremony is thoroughly studied in light of Arrabal's programmatic text Le Panique, that singles out three key concepts responsible for artistic creation: memory, chance and confusion. This study shows how memory determines the plays' departure from mimesis and how chance articulates the materials recalled from memory into precisely arranged plots. Furthermore, subjects, objects, spatial-temporal frames and words are subject to confusion, inan attempt to create an utterly innovative form of theatre. This group of seemingly heterogeneous plays is given theoretical coherence and consistency by placing the idea of panic at the centre of a great formal experimentation.
