Synopsis "Prohibido Suicidarse en Primavera (in Spanish)"

Casona, critico siempre de los males de la sociedad civilizada del mundo urbano utiliza el tema del suicidio como telon de fondo del asunto central: la felicidad y la infelicidad en dos hermanos, en dos seres a quien el destino se muestra con doble faz, como Jano. La justicia o la injusticia nada tienen que ver con el corazon ni con los sentimientos que presiden las relaciones entre los humanos.En la obra todo sirve a una idea central: la exaltacion de la vida, el rechazo del suicidio. No hay nada que lo justifique porque fuera esta la naturaleza, encarnada en la primavera, con toda su potencia, con toda su savia, que reanima los deseos de gozar.Si eres feliz, escondete. No se puede andar cargado de joyas por un barrio de mendigos. ¡No se puede pasear una felicidad como la vuestra por un mundo de desgraciados!.

Alejandro Rodríguez Álvarez, known as Alejandro Casona, or also "El perdido" (Besullo, Cangas del Narcea, Asturias, March 23, 1903-Madrid, September 17, 1965) was a Spanish playwright and teacher from the Generation of '27. His dramatic production, related to the "poetic theater" that emerged from the modernism of Rubén Darío, has certain parallels with that of Federico García Lorca, although his poetics has the bitter taste of survival. He worked as a teacher and later as an inspector, but, from 1931, he dedicated himself entirely to theater.

Before dying in Madrid in 1965, he wrote about twenty theatrical works, in addition to other minor texts. Between 1931 and 1936, Casona animates and directs the "Teatro del pueblo", a company sponsored by the authorities of the republic. Casona became known in literature in the 1930s. Exiled in America, he returned to Spain in 1962, experiencing notable public and critical success and even writing the work that would close his literary career: "El caballero de las espuelas de oro" in 1964.
