Joan Yago and La Calòrica: new realisms in the 21st century Catalan theater
Abstract
The text examines the aesthetic and ideological evolution of the company La Calòrica, articulated by the dramaturgy of Joan Yago. Founded in 2010, La Calòrica has developed a singular scenic language that questions the political and social reality through a humorous look. In order to identify some outstanding elements of its language, it is proposed to group its production in three periods, the first from 2010 to 2013, the second period from 2014 to 2017, and a third period from 2018 to 2023, with the aim of observing how the company has evolved towards new forms of realism in its quest to expose the structural contradictions of contemporary society. Comedy and critical analysis in its productions have allowed La Calòrica to redefine political and popular theater in Catalonia, consolidating itself as a key reference in the Catalan theater of the 21st century
