In 'The Poison of the Theater', Rodolf Sirera presents us with an intriguing dialogue between an aristocrat and a comedian in Paris in 178... Gabriel de Beaumont, a renowned actor, is invited by the Marquis de... to his palace. There, he is commissioned to perform a play about the death of Socrates, written by the Marquis himself. However, he soon discovers that everything is a trap to subject him to a cruel experiment on the relationship between reality and representation around the theme of death. This work, originally conceived as an 'illustrated dialogue', transcends theoretical speculation to delve into the practice of dramatic play. The volume is completed with 'Trio', a comedy written thirty-four years later, where two actors try to represent 'The Poison of the Theater', finding the opposition of the author, tired of his own creation.
