Abstract
Durante las primeras décadas del siglo XIX, el teatro funcionó como espacio de propaganda política. La mayoría de textos difunden un ideario liberal donde se ensalzan héroes individuales o colectivos —Pelayo, los Comuneros, Numancia, Riego, Espoz y Mina, la Milicia Nacional, etc.—. Muchas veces, el éxito de una obra se debía a la declamación del actor que encendía el patriotismo del público. En este artículo, estudiamos la cartelera barcelonesa en torno al Trienio Liberal con especial atención a las escenificaciones de Andrés Prieto. Prieto representa en escena a los héroes de la libertad a la vez que participa, como capitán de la Milicia Nacional, en la defensa constitucional. Esta participación le llevará al exilio en Francia y México.
During the first decades of the 19th century, the stage worked as a political propaganda space. Most plays spread the liberal ideas and recover individual or collective heroes —Pelayo, the Comuneros, Numancia, Riego, Espoz y Mina, the National Militia, etc.—. Many times, the success depended on the delivering of a particular actor who had to make audience feel excited and to raise his patriotic sense. This paper focuses on the theatre activity of Barcelona related with the Triennial Liberal Government, in particular in Andrés Prieto’s performances. He acts different heroes for freedom while he participates, as a member of the National Militia, in the defence of the constitutional regime. This engagement forced him into the exile in France and Mexico.
