Las nuevas tendencias en el teatro español a finales del siglo XX

New Trends of the Spanish Theater at the End of the Twentieth Century
The current research starts with explaining the importance of the topic being addressed, as well as a discussion of the problems that will result from handling this topic while studying and analyzing the new trends of the Spanish theatre in the twentieth century. Thus, the present research illustrates the aim of this study at the beginning. Then, it attempts to explore the motives of the scientific approach of induction or the projection on the new trends. Hence, the research clarifies the features of the new trends. However, this study focuses mainly on a new presentation of this topic that deals with a systematic sequential analysis of the new trends of the contemporary Spanish theatre in recent times.
In order to achieve the aim of this study, it was necessary to apply a methodological criterion which differs from the traditional descriptive methods and it is built on visions consistent with "the theory of social mediation" and "motives for authorship". In this context, it was also essential to address two problems inherent in the issue of trends:
The first problem lies in the classification of trends while the second one is related to assigning the selected works chosen for this study. Though at the end, we find that we have developed a brief model that combines between two main topics namely; the periods of time and the theatrical movements as follows:
 
The first topic analyzed the tends of theatre in the post-war period or the final years of Franco's rule, where innovative and invisible, opposing or reactionary, real or imaginative theatrical patterns appeared that paved the way for the emergence of new theatrical trends or modern dramatic techniques in the last third of the twentieth century.
The second topic highlighted the theatrical trends that developed the experimental theatrical work by using modern realistic themes that attracted the attention of the Spanish society beginning in the eighties and early nineties where a positive shift took place towards the search for new theatrical patterns that led to the emergence of the period of "the post-transitional stage" in Spain-  new theatrical trends that are called "postmodernism" or so-called "post-merging the text with the theatrical performance", which were characterized in their entirety by pluralism. These works were presented by incorporating the new modern methods such as the audiovisual methods that did not stop their constant search for providing theatre with new theatrical alternatives, whether they are themes or other alternatives, which in turn contributed to facing the new challenges that faced and are still facing the Spanish society.
The present study resulted in several conclusions that are not only limited to the results that were reached through applying the mechanisms of analysis to the new trends according to the plan of the study that outlined two main issues, but the study also provided some recommendations for further studies that will be conducted on the same topic in the future. Finally, the study illustrated the specialized sources and references that are related to the subject of the study.
