Elementos lorquianos en el teatro de Jorge Díaz
Garcia Lorca’s Aesthetics in the Theater of Jorge Díaz

Summary/Abstract: This article investigates of Federico García Lorca’s on Jorge Díaz’s theatrical works written in the 1980s and 1990s. The Andalusian author has become a source of inspiration for the Chilean playwright both in terms of his biography and his literary aesthetics. The paper examines an intertextual dialogue between several Works by Jorge Díaz (Opera immobile, Landscape in the fog with figures, Federico, a child who turns one hundred years old) and some of Lorca’s texts (Doña Rosita the Spinster, Blood Wedding and popular poetry). Following the methodological precepts of J. L. García Barrientos and P. Ginestier, we have come to the conclusion that the dramas of Jorge Díaz are impregnated with Lorca’s metaphors. The presence of the moon in Landscape in the fog with figures is worth mentioning as it conditions the dramatic architecture of the work. In addition, we present a series of common features in the dramaturgy of both authors, such as the semantization of spatiotemporal elements and their paradigmatic relationship with the category of the character.
