#SONORIDADESCojan auriculares porque este número de Dramática, además de leerse, se escucha. En este mundo cada vez más ruidoso, asistimos a la necesidad de concentrarnos en lo que oímos buscando un cierto aislamiento, quizas habitar un parentesis, quizas encontrar un eco intrauterino de cuando llegamos a la vida y el oido fue el primer sentido que desarrollamos y por el que empezamos a llenar de experiencia y conocimiento nuestro almacen de memorias. Dedicamos a lo sonoro esta revista impulsadas por la sensacion de que cada vez tiene mayor peso y presencia la sonoridad en los montajes teatrales, porque los artistas sonoros cada vez coquetean mas con lo escenico, porque la musica escondida en el cine o en los clubes alberga secretos culturales que apelan a lo social, a lo politico, a lo filosofico y hasta a lo antropologico, porque la ficcion sonora vive un momento dulce en la era dorada del podcasting.Porque ademas queremos poner en valor todas las sonoridades posibles, preteritas, presentes y futuras, para lo teatral y lo parateatral, reivindicando aquellos olvidos injustos en los ambitos formativos o en los lugares donde se da carta de legitimidad a los artistas, a base de premios o de dineros. Para que deje de sonarnos a extraterrestre lo que suena y los que nos suenan que hacen que todo suene. ¿Te suena?

No resulta sencillo enfrentarse a una investigación sobre el circo en España que abarque casi cuatro décadas de nuestro siglo XX. De hecho, salvo las excepciones que, por suerte, confirman la regla, hasta el momento no se ha escrito una historia del arte circense en nuestro pais. Este libro es una aportacion para construir esta historia y una invitacion al lector a asomarse a las entrañas de un arte basado en el asombro, en lo maravilloso en lo extraordinario del cuerpo y de la mente humana, pero sustentado tambien sobre proyectos empresariales bien terrenales e inmerso en un entramado politico que apenas ha mostrado interes alguno por este arte, mas aun en la etapa a la que aqui nos referimos. '¡Mas dificil todavia!' Es una cronica, una de las muchas posibles, del circo que se vio en España entre 1940 y 1975, un periodo en el que, pese a las durisimas condiciones en que hubo de desenvolverse bajo el regimen dictatorial del general Franco, existieron magnificas trayectorias que jalonaron, aunque pueda parecer paradojico, uno de los periodos, que, segun el testimonio de quienes lo vivieron y conocieron en p

Eran las 11:30 del 11 de febrero de 1972. Tras cuatro años de protestas, un año viviendo sitiados por las ruinas de los edificios colindantes, denuncias al Ayuntamiento y movilizaciones vecinales, Pilar Enciso y Lauro Olmo se veian obligados a abandonar la que habia sido su casa durante decadas. En ultimo intento por evitar el desahucio, habian pintado de rojigualda la puerta de la casa para apelar al Decreto de 11 de octubre de 1945 que impedia deshonrar la bandera nacional al mancillarla o pisarla. Este gesto de dignidad y resistencia calo hondo en la memoria popular. El recuerdo de aquellos escritores sitiados que habian desafiado a toda autoridad para evitar que sobre su hogar se levantasen unos grandes almacenes cobro tintes casi epicos. Esta Numancia de las inmobiliarias fue, quiza, la presentacion en sociedad de Pilar y Lauro para el conjunto del pais, especialmente para aquellos ciudadanos alijados de los patios de butacas: esa batalla por la dignidad de un barrio manifestaba la integridad de ambos, incluso en las circunstancias mas adversas, y representaba el compromiso del intelectual consigo
