About this Item

22x14cm, xi, 204 pp "In eight dialogues a master & his disciple argue about the theatre - ancient, renaissance, and modern, attempting to situate it within an ontology & a scheme of esthetic values.The scheme of esthetic values is an elaboration of the term 'livingness' as used by Augusto Centeno y Rilova, an extension of the term 'vivencia' as used by his teacher Ortega y Gasset.'The Blue Clown' cannot be easily categorized or described. Written in the manner of the Spanish 'genero chico', or small comic opera, it is an intellectual entertainment, but a serious presentation & application of the central esthetic ideas of Centeno."
