Synopsis "Los Arboles Mueren de Pie (in Spanish)"

Alejandro Casona juega con la fantasia y la realidad en el teatro. Estamos, y se ve desdela primera escena, ante una escenificacion del teatro dentro del tetaro, no al modo pirandelliano, sino instrumentando elementos del vodevil. Esta obra nos ofrece un mundo tocado de fantasia y unos personajes que ejemplifican una idea moral. Desde la escena pretenden mostrar y demostrar al espectador el bien, la belleza, la vida en su expresion mas genuina, bondadosa y maravillosa. Su funcion es orientar hacia el sendero de las fuentes cristalianas y limpias de una vida mejor. / Alejandro Casona plays with fantasy and reality in his plays. Here we are in play within the play, not in the Pirandellian way but as orchestrating elements of the vaudeville. This work offers a world of fantasy and characters who exemplify a moral idea. They intended to show the viewer the good, beautiful life in its most genuine, kind and wonderful expression. Its function is to guide him thruough the path of crystalline and clean sources of a better life.

Alejandro Rodríguez Álvarez, known as Alejandro Casona, or also "El perdido" (Besullo, Cangas del Narcea, Asturias, March 23, 1903-Madrid, September 17, 1965) was a Spanish playwright and teacher from the Generation of '27. His dramatic production, related to the "poetic theater" that emerged from the modernism of Rubén Darío, has certain parallels with that of Federico García Lorca, although his poetics has the bitter taste of survival. He worked as a teacher and later as an inspector, but, from 1931, he dedicated himself entirely to theater.

Before dying in Madrid in 1965, he wrote about twenty theatrical works, in addition to other minor texts. Between 1931 and 1936, Casona animates and directs the "Teatro del pueblo", a company sponsored by the authorities of the republic. Casona became known in literature in the 1930s. Exiled in America, he returned to Spain in 1962, experiencing notable public and critical success and even writing the work that would close his literary career: "El caballero de las espuelas de oro" in 1964.
