Abstract

90
This paper puts forward an interpretation of the first play written by Gonzalo Torrente Ballester, Viaje del joven Tobías (“Young Tobit’s Journey”), which illustrates a wide-spread concern of his time about the renovation of the stage. Such concern conveyed a revival and adaptation of elements from the past, such as the resurrection of the mystery play, not always featuring Catholic values. We highlight the technical or thematic coincidences with contemporary Works expressing a similar tendency to innovation in old patterns, and and we similarly stress how both the approach and contents of Torrente’s play were influenced by two thinkers who played an important role in the period’s aesthetics, particularly within the political context of the Falange: Eugenio d’Ors and José Ortega y Gasset.
