Cantigas e Agarimos in the 60s: Mass Galeguism from the Choir to the Theater
Abstract
This article examines the theatrical activity of the folklore group Cantigas e Agarimos (CeA) of Santiago de Compostela—particularly its Teatro Galego section—during the 1960s under Franco's dictatorship. Challenging the idea of this period as a cultural void for Galician theatre, it shows how CeA staged important performances in Galician, serving as a space for identity and subtle resistance. Using rare and unpublished documentation, the study reconstructs CeA's repertoire and highlights its cultural and political relevance. By analyzing authors, themes, and audience engagement, it reveals CeA's key role in preserving Galician language and culture. The article also calls for more attention to 20th-century Galician theatre and the often-overlooked role of choral and folkloric groups in sustaining memory, identity, and resistance under repression.
