Literary Biography

(Excerpts from the book of Professor Izquierdo Gómez of the University of Granada) .

His literary career dates back to the 1940s when he wrote numerous plays, with all the defects of a primitivism. His real beginning was in 1955 with the play’s message.

In his pre-public stage shows and some variety of themes and genres. At that stage even wrote many pieces, releasing ten, for fans and companies in narrow fields. “When I had written at least twenty-author Manuel declared Bow-and then I have not been for nothing, but as learning the trade, which began in my first comedy premiered by professionals, the message, and continued on empty beach, another imaginative, which started from the trunk of costumes and reaches Fly on a trapeze. ” It is a time of trials and testing their ability to make their will demonstrate is dramatic and persistent. It is characterized as a didactic production, with its humor and its international criticism.

Subsequently theater suffered a deep crisis about five years, in which almost disowned the theater. He must be a null period as an author during which he devoted himself exclusively to medicine. Jaime Salom from some works with problems or wrapped hinted comprehensively, has evolved to one of deeper issues, a theater much more confrontational, more critical and testimonial, where they strip the shame and pride of man revisionist perspectives, based on behaviors authenticity and freedom. Although mobility secondment of some works in different periods, generally chronological blocks shall distinguish by the release dates.

Although mobility ascription of his works in different periods, generally five chronological blocks are distinguished by the release dates.

Period 1955-1962

It ranges from the message to the fourth player. They sly humor and understanding lies a conscious concern topics such as love, marriage, honesty, ethics and personal freedom versus social pigeonholing. As would claim in later years Edward G. Rico, “the issue of liability, the complex of guilt, anxiety, commitment, form the backbone of the theater salomiano”.

In Guilty first and later in the great adventure of orthodoxy is questioned because of love marriage. The second, a real gem of folk by their types, has just transpired, perhaps because it was written in Catalan, while the first hoisted him to fame and project outward.

Period 1963-1967

With eight pieces premiered. It is the most fruitful chronological stage. Already convinced of his creative power and confident, production comes to a feverish, as if he could retain creep teatralizables stories or issues. It constitutes the first stage of maturity, predominantly vital impulses with some extraordinary pieces.

The work of this group range from the more instinctive and liberalizing trends and the status set. He had problems with the censorship of the time. In the progressive development of the playwright, the trunk of the costumes was a quantum leap. Salom has considered his first work most authentic and original, free from external influences, full of fantasy formal and thematic, with a different scenic approach that mixes in time, characters and even dialogue at various levels within the awareness and deepest melancholy.

Parcheesi party (and its version Quote Saturday), Winter Games and Violin Man, are a humorous theater, casual and ironic, sometimes nostalgic, and whose values ​​lie in the ductility of the dialogues, mobility and scenic diversity of situations …

Lack of evidence and mirror two women (64 and 65) respond to serious concerns about the authenticity of behaviors but also deal with the tensions that concern individuals and impel him to rectify his modus vivendi, in order to be more freely consistent with their own feelings and ideals. The latter is a beautiful love song dedicated to his protagonist, who gives up the love of his life. Works very well thought out and masterfully developed.

Period 1968-1971

Coincides with the rupture of the world regarding Salom preceding subdivided in two directions or trends. Linked to a more stable (La Casa de las chivas, empty beach, the night of the hundred birds) and one in clear advance towards disagreement with the prevailing socio-religious system (Travel on a trapeze, Dolphins).

Increasingly, experiential and ideological tensions of the author, show through in his work. On empty beach (70) and plasma that fight experiential dialectic between eros-human life and God’s love through death, but the protagonist Don seeks refuge in God, fleeing Tana (death).

In 1967, José Monleón he defined as “the author of contrasts as a permanent tension between Spanish society and a hypothetical reality”. Dolphins, the first work to which he devotes a thorough preliminary investigation. It deals with serious social and generational, closely linked to the crisis of the industrial bourgeoisie family, corporate power struggle (with overtones likely sociopolitical regime Spanish), bankruptcy of the family patriarchs, hypocrisies and rebellions, frustrated love, etc.; in a spectacular original structure and dynamics.

Many reviewers of highlighting the great turning point occurred in creating dramatic, from fantasy to social realities, with a theater critic about politics, customs, religion, tradition or lack of freedoms. Salom confessed that this piece was the most important and ambitious to date (1969) and had charted the way forward. Dislikes routine and prefer fantasy. “This concern has always led me to try different techniques and genres and, at the same time has given me maximum freedom of expression”. Despite which recognized “influenced me sometime intimate theater of Chekhov. I am also an admirer of Peter Weiss and theater, to a lesser extent, of Albee.

With Dolphins Salom trace a huge gulf between much of the previous and the next production. Since then, his works delve into the sociocultural problems in response to personal concerns, increasingly rooted in basic human issues. His version of the Chinese Wall by Max Frisch, in 1971, coincides with the intimate concerns of Salom, helping itself out on the later works.

In these years the author’s personality feels earthquake tremors that buffeted their cultural foundations: living habits, the concept of love and its fixed anchors, the sociopolitical, artistic production, with its multiple and almost antagonistic tendencies, etc. etc. The immobility of the family will, perhaps, who acknowledged more cracking but also its way of thinking and acting. Salom is not that outrageous ways to pass the experimentalists per se, for his theatrical training and are fully rooted convictions dramatic but broad and diversified techniques of theatrical expression, trying novel approaches and structures that enhance the content of the works.

Period 1972-1982

During the same six original works premiered over the adaptation of The Hostage, Brendan Behan. Three of them on sociopolitical themes based on historical facts. Are allegations against oppressive powers, laden connotations to this. Transfers from one time to another is happening constantly, with great freedom and mobility scenic, especially Nine toast for a king, farcical and parodic character.

Time swords fluctuates between active liberation theology and the message of love and peace conveyed by Christ, especially in a closed environment, dramatic tension and constrained to the classical unities. Here, the author uses his religious and political context to express their rebellion against all oppression and dictatorship.

In short flight Rooster takes the father figure of Franco as iconic incarnation of republicanism and emotional freedom against Franco and indissoluble marriage. The structure of this piece theater breaks spatiotemporal chronology and scenic resources with embracing freedom, in the interests of efficiency expressive. Dramatizes future unrealizable dreams, which dreams of reason or links several scenes with the noise of the crash of Ramon, etc.

Your attitude is shaped by stating that it is a defense of life against the institutions, orthodoxy, appearances, hypocrisy or culture, in a sense conservative. The skin of the lemon and intimate stories of Paradise (78) are also allegations against sexist conception of love and marriage. The first, sounding hoarse and fierce, accusing the institutions to maintain the indissolubility of marriage. It’s a swan song for freedom loving couple and the authenticity of love outside regulatory or social pressures. The second is a farcical comedy and lighthearted intended (in keeping with the feminist movement) demystify male machismo (of Adam and his descendants), parodying the creation of Eve parangonarla the alleged first wife of Paradise, Lilit (intelligible free, feminist, …).

In these parts Salom is no longer “the author of the doubt, nor a permanent tension between opposites”, but a fighter for freedom and against the repressive powers. They mark the height of its development, without setbacks and approaches to precedent. With them delve into the problems of modern society from a personal view of serious playwright. In 1978 he declared: “My work has been intellectualized in the course of time. I’m more dialectical, more testimonial (…) I am not teaching, do not want to show anything, just record what happens around me. ”

It feels imbued with revolutionary ideals, hence looking for new themes and new theatrical forms in connection with the seizure of society. For him, the current speed and not social, economic or political, but the biological and psychic, that of a new generation to rise up against the system and institutions of societies whose foundations are not satisfied.

Period 1982-1994

Produce works with progressive online before. From My four men (written for television), on successive exploitations, affective and macho, the father, the husband, the lover and the son of a woman who always dreamed done in freedom and equality, and against all odds liberating snub , going for an hour without TV (vigorous and dramatic dialectic discourse between a husband and wife), to others where the socio-political component is intertwined with the loving-sexual. A man at the door (84), Las Casas, a fire at dawn (published prior to rendering exceptionally in Mexico (January 90) and released his last works, The Lord of the lies (October 90) and Black Butterflies (Alicante, 1994).

His humorous vein old suffers also a radical transformation. Each year it becomes more critical and versatile, it is biting, sarcastic and corrosive regarding political powers-farcical parody contexts. In a man at the door welcomes the issue of lesbianism and Las Casas, a fire at dawn, suggests some homosexuality, almost congenital in Indian Lord, who is enamored of the young Bartholomew.

His statements on the first gain value of ideological manifestos: “Basically he says, is the struggle of man against dogmatism, whether parties or churches … So their struggle to overcome old ideas, deep feelings, rooted.

Jaime Salom grown three major themes: the moral problems of the individual within small human groups, the loving-sexual and sociopolitical: three types of theater: comic-elusive, the dramatic and farcical parody-and two expressive levels: the predominantly realistic and symbolic and imaginative. Of course, only some parts globally confined to one or another classification, the most common being the confluence of themes, genres and levels.

In recent productions the author seems to have stood on the side of the demystifications more outrageous and revolting reviews, liberalizing or permissive. Defends and promotes individual freedom and popular almost unlimited, based on the authenticity of each person and respect for others, where the concepts of moral conscience, and not have to respond to principles emanating from the powers or institutions.

Enclave generational

The author feels, generationally, among the authors of the war, along with the generation that goes from 1964 to 1976, as Buero Vallejo, Antonio Gala, Martin recalls, Carlos Muñiz and others, as “a post-war lasts, the years forty, has remained as a scar still hurts rainy days. This long period of censorship and balances marked us as a generation possibilistic. We needed to write and that our works had an audience, for which we had to stick to what at the time was publishable, but it severs our creation. ”

In this position he stood, more or less, Antolin and Lopez Mario Rubio. The first noted around 1980, at a conference held in Almeria over the last 25 years of the Spanish theater, “that the influence of Michael Mihura, Buero Vallejo, Casona, López Rubio and others, there are new authors like Antonio Gala, Martin Barefoot, Jaime Salom, etc. “And López Rubio was considered in the generation following hers, with Buero Vallejo, Ruiz Iriarte, Antonio Gala and then Francisco Nieva and more.

Generally covers his theater criticism well in a broad realism, symbolism well characterized entirety by a balanced construction, a language and a remarkable exclenete humanism.
