Galician Literature Day: Roberto Vidal Bolaño

The Galician Literature Day (also known as Día das Letras Galegas) is a holiday in Galicia and is celebrated on May 17th  each year. It was created in 1963 to commemorate the 100 years since the publication Cantares Gallegos, by Rosalía de Castro. The publication of  Cantares gallegos marked the start of the cultural renaissance of the Galician language, known as the Rexurdimento. This annual celebration was introduced by Galicia’s Royal Academy (Real Academia Galega).

 In 2013, Galician Literature Day is dedicated to playwright and actor Roberto Vidal Bolaño (Santiago de Compostela, 1950 - Santiago de Compostela, 2002). He was one of the greatest architects of the professionalization of the Galician theater and he started in the theater world with the Group Antroido. He wrote drama,  worked  visual arts and made television scripts for TV Galician and Spanish. He was also one of the first directors who participated in the institutional theater with CDG (Centro Dramático Galego). 

The work of Roberto Bolaño Vidal  is marked by the aesthetic of defeat  and the critique of modernity. Our author defended a recovery of the popular culture, but cultivated the historical theater too. His works collected and mixed aesthetic currents of realism, symbolism, surrealism and expressionism. They are pieces where we can see  the dialogue with the public. Its production is characterized by a commitment to the country and the language

RVB highlighted as an actor, director, producer and illuminator. Some of his works are:

Agasallo de sombras
Animaliños
As actas escuras
Bailadela da morte ditosa
Cochos 
Criaturas
Daquel Abrente
Días sen gloria
Doentes
Laudamuco, Señor de Ningures
Rastros 
Saxo Tenor
Touporroutou da lúa e do sol

 Many cultural events take place on 17th May all around Galicia, particularly in Santiago de Compostela.
