Abstract

This article analyzes the recent versions of two classical "comedias de figurón" (originated in the Spanish Golden Age). One of them is the 2009 production of Guillén de Castro’s "El narciso en su opinión", which was directed by Rafael Calatayud for the Teatres de la Generalitat Valenciana. The other one is Agustín Moreto’s "El lindo don Diego", directed by Carles Alfaro for the Compañía Nacional de Teatro Clásico in 2013. The objective is to dissect the conceptual and aesthetic parameters by which the type of the pretentious, extravagant and effeminate Golden Age “lindo” is characterized (and perceived by contemporary audiences).
