The Basement Window Book by Antonio Buero Vallejo (Farsi)

Description

The Basement Window by Spanish playwright Antonio Buero Vallejo is a striking and thought-provoking stage play that examines the psychological and moral aftermath of the Spanish Civil War. First performed in 1967, it is one of Buero Vallejo’s most significant contributions to Spanish theater, combining realism with a subtle yet profound exploration of memory, guilt, and human resilience. Set in postwar Spain, the play unfolds in a single room dominated by a small skylight, which becomes a metaphor for the characters’ limited perspectives. The drama focuses on a fractured family—parents and their two sons, Vicente and Mario—trapped by the past and struggling to confront uncomfortable truths. Through intimate settings and intense familial dynamics, Buero Vallejo explores the lingering impact of conflict on personal identity and morality.
