La educación literaria y el teatro del Siglo de Oro en PrimariaEl proyecto COMEDIA-VA

Abstract

Since the creation of the National Company in 1986 (CNTC), the interest for our playwright of the Golden Century (“Siglo de Oro”) is shown consolidated and rising in the festivals and billboards of each theater season. The “oro viejo” of our classics, in the words of Lorca, represented by puppets or by actors, also fascinates children and young people. From the conviction of the great educational power that the classics of our literature contains, as well as of the pedagogical value of the theater we present here the first results of a research project that has a double aspect: the first, purely philological, intends to show the connections between the genre of the “Comedia Nueva” and fairy tales; the second one, for classroom application, is a methodological proposal based on project learning and theatrical pedagogy for the approach of our classics to the children of Elementary through the transformation of the classroom into a theatrical troupe: the COMEDIA-VA learning project, inspired by Creating Original Opera (in Spain, since 2006, LÓVA –“La Ópera, Vehículo de Aprendizaje”–).
