Abstract

The aim of this paper is to do a political research (polis: the city, the culture, the homeland) about the patterns and characteristics of the current post-theatre in Spain (through its best-known playwrights) and compare them with the differentiating notes of the US post-dramatic television series. Along the way, it is described and also explored the origins of the Spanish post-drama from the Middle Ages through the Golden Age, and this in a way that this dawn of festive and popular character (unlike the technique and intellectuality of Greece) creates an individualistic and libertarian atmosphere in the stage. Accordingly, the Spanish post-dramatic universe breaks with the classic conventions and connects with the post-series television drama of the USA, which thus separates itself from its Elizabethan, and therefore Saxon, tradition. As a result, paths are opened up in order to find ways for popular and commercial seduction and to ensure the future of the industry and dramatic art in the USA based on the cultural identity policy in the realm of the Spanish language.
