However, defining Spanish theatre as a single entity in the present day is an impossible task, given the sharpening identities of regional theatres working in languages other than Spanish, including the co-official languages of Catalan, Basque, and Galician. For this reason, this chapter will not only focus on the two most internationally recognised hubs of Madrid and Barcelona but will also consider the Basque Country, Galicia, and Andalucía. Overall, theatre and performance in Spain continues to grapple with the consequences of the transition from dictatorship to democracy.engbook part2025-11-05
