Teatroteca, the video library of the Centro de Documentación de las Artes Escénicas y de la Música (CDAEM) of the Instituto Nacional de las Artes Escénicas y de la Música (INAEM) makes available on-line and for free six modern stage adaptations of Celestina:

This is a great chance to watch some of the most important stage adaptations of Celestina of the last decades, in particular for those who were not in Spain when they were in theatres.

La Celestina by Compañía Nacional de Teatro (México)

One further stage adaptaion of Celestina is to be found on-line: Rosenda Montero’s and Ruby Tagle’s version for the Compañía Nacional de Teatro (México).

I really appreciate that theatre companies have started recording and uploading their performances of Celestina to Youtube or a similar platform. Not only does it give people the chance to watch adaptations that are not staged in their area, but it gives a good idea of how alive Celestina is.

Two talks on Celestina by Jesús G. Maestro

Looking for videos of celestinesque interest in Youtube I have found two recordings of Jesús G. Maestro talking about Celestina and its socio-historical and intellectual-cultural backgrounds.

El personaje nihilista en La Celestina: el ateísmo en la literatura del Renacimiento

Libertad humana y prostitución en La Celestina de Fernando de Rojas

 

Two new recordings: Celestina at the Fundación Juan March and the radio show A les portes de Troia

In a past post, I regretted not being able to attend the talk by Emilio de Miguel Martínez and Julia Gutiérrez Caba that took place the last 7th of May at the Fundación Juan March. I was told it would be recorded and uploaded to the Canal March as soon as possible, but I did not expect that it would be as soon as in just four weeks! The video is accessible in Youtube as well.

Unexpectedly, I found a further recording of celestinesque interest. The radio show A les portes de Troia devoted the programme of the 19th of May to Celestina and its historical context (La Celestina i el seu món). I have not been able to listen to it yet, so that I cannot say anything on its content, but I leave here the recording for you to enjoy it.
