At first a pro-aristocracy Carlist and later a communist with anarchist leanings, Ramón María del Valle-Inclán ran the political gamut from right to left. In this program, documentary material and dramatizations are blended to provide an account of a major Spanish novelist and playwright—whose esperpentos such as Tirano Banderas and Los Cuernos de Don Friolera prefigured the theater of the absurd—within the context of his nation’s political turmoil. An RTVE production. (Spanish, 56 minutes)
