As didascalias como discurso teórico-crítico da escena: escritores que exercen de directores na dramaturxia galega contemporánea

This article coheres methodologically with new currents in theatrical research which posit the text in its entirety as a product of the relationship with different factors that shape it as a system. As a result of this analysis, a new typology of stage directions is proposed in this article, which takes the body of contemporary Galician theatre as its case study. The considerable weight that the so-called critical and theoretical stage directions possess, from the date of the first announcement of the Abrente Awards for Theatrical Texts in Galician (Ribadavia 1973), to the works of more recent authors (many of whom are also directors) reveals a concern for the construction of a reflexive and conceptual discourse that is crucial even in terms of the fiction.
