Abstract

In the first decades of the 20th century a revitalization of the sacramental mystery plays takes place in the Spanish theatre that links the tradition of this theatrical sub-genre to the avant-garde. In those years the allegorical meaning of the sacramental mystery plays is used while preserving its eucharisticsense, ignoring it or subverting its meaning. During the postwar period its promotioncontinuesand, in the case of Carmen Conde, frequently close to religious themes in her work, Nada más que Caínreflects the relationship with the trend changing the traditional sense of the sacramental mystery playswhile offering unique samples of its poetic universe.
