The Hispanic Baroque Project of Canada (www.hispanicbaroque.ca) and GRISO of the Universidad de Navarra, in collaboration with The Stratford Festival of Canada, the Association for Hispanic Classical Theater Inc., and the Universidad de Santiago de Compostela would like to announce the international conference “Violence in Golden Age Theatre”, that will take place in Stratford, Ontario (Canada) from the 26th to the 29th of  June 2008, coinciding with the world-wide premiere of Laurence Boswell’s version of Fuente Ovejuna.

The conference will examine both the concepts and representations of the diverse forms of violence in the different dramatic genres of Hispanic Golden Age Theater. This examination will include different points of view (literary, historical, anthropological, religious, domestic, aesthetic and theatrical) in an attempt to bring about a multidisciplinary revision. Three plenary lectures, communication sessions and meetings of researchers, directors and actors will be organized.

The organization of the Conference will run parallel to the Stratford Festival of Canada’s 56^th season ( www.stratfordfestival.ca/), which on the 27th of June, will include the premiere of a production of Fuente Ovejuna by Lope de Vega, adapted and directed by Laurence Boswell. Moreover, during the four days of conference, the Stratford Festival of Canada will also be putting on other works that will be of great interest to lovers of the theatre ( http://www.stratfordfestival.ca/order/calendar.cfm).

In addition, the group Tarantella will offer the participants a concert of baroque music entiled "Arded, corazón, arded. Music in Lope's time" with lyrics by Lope de Vega.

Papers in both Spanish and English dealing with any of the aspects of the topic of the conference will be accepted.  Presentations should be no longer than 20 minutes and a length of 25,000 characters (spaces included) for those written texts intended for the Conference Proceedings that will be later selected and reviewed by a committee.  In subsequent notifications, we will ask for final titles of the presentations and send the presenters necessary information about accommodation, travel, plenarist conferences, provisional and definite program of events, etc.

Everyone interested in participating should send the registration form along with the registration fee and the confirmation as to whether or not they would like to attend the premiere of Fuente Ovejuna to:
