El Teatro Federico García Lorca

Published in 1988 by the Centro Dramático Nacional, El Teatro Federico García Lorca serves as a visual and scholarly exploration of the staging of Lorca's dramatic works. The book arrived during a period of renewed academic and artistic focus on Lorca's contribution to Spanish theater, acting as a commemorative document that bridges the gap between historical dramatic texts and contemporary performance art.

The volume features the distinct visual language of Frederic Amat, a renowned Catalan artist and set designer known for his abstract and tactile approach to stagecraft. Amat’s contribution was intended to strip away traditional, overly literal interpretations of Lorca’s plays, opting instead for a conceptual design style that mirrors the surrealism and emotional intensity found in the playwright’s original vision. Upon its release, the work was well-received by critics for successfully blending fine art with theatrical archival research.
