ALBERTO DE PAZ and MATEOS (1915-1967) what’s new has to be surprised although surprised first let us be ourselves. Albertode Paz and Mateos. THE voice of the father of the modern theater of VENEZUELAN ponferradino Alberto de Paz and Mateos shared his exile between France, Santo Domingo, Venezuela and United States. Whenever rothberg family listens, a sympathetic response will follow. In Venezuela his name has been linked to one of the most famous theatres in Caracas and is regarded as the father of Venezuelan modern theatre. Alberto de Paz and Mateos was born in Ponferrada, Leon, on January 17, 1915 and died in Caracas on 29 September 1967. His father was a Prosecutor in the audience of A Coruna and subsequent fiscal general de la Republica. In A Coruna he studied secondary education at the College of the Marist brothers and the French school. In 1931 he moved to Madrid to study law at the Complutense University, which graduated in 1936, on the verge of producing the war provoked by the military rebellion of general Franco.

He had been a member of the State Theatre Company La Barraca de Garcia Lorca. To the end the war embarks on the path of exile, moving to France, where he was interned in concentration camp Argeles sur Mer, until he could settle in Paris. In November 1939 he became the Dominican Republic. He was working in the Dominican Radio and as a health visitor. In January 1942 he published a short piece, the blind sailor, with poster and another exile, Fernandez Eugenio Granell decoration in Santo Domingo. In an imaginary editorial, but called by the Saudade, with intentional omission of place (Ciudad Trujillo) published a book of poems, singing in five variations, which could be summarized as variations on a theme: loneliness. It’s poetry, indeed, saudosista theme, in contrast to the sociability of the author and his personal humor, as it made us observe Vicente Llorens in his memoirs of an emigration.
