The Great Prophet Eliseus, an unpublished comedy play by Andrés González de Barcia

Abstract

The Great Prophet Eliseus by Andrés González-Barcia is an unpublished play that has not been the object of any review so far. We do not keep any edition of it and we have no record of its performance. It is a biblical-hagiographic comedy that mixes the religious with the profane, light love with sound doctrine. The music fulfills a purpose not only aesthetic, but also ideological and dramatic. Likewise, the scenography combines both the doctrinal and performance values, but without violating the religious spirit of the text, while the stage and the «special effects» fulfill the mission of enhancing it.
