Synopsis "Moscas (in Spanish)"

El asunto de su primera obra teatral, Las moscas, drama en tres actos, estrenado en 1943, fue a buscarlo Jean-Paut Sartre en los orígenes de la tragedia griega, concretamente en La Orestiada de Esquilo. De la renombrada pieza, emana no solamente el existencialismo del creador, sino ciertas crípticas alusiones a su tiempo.Hubo quienes consideraron Muertos sin sepultura -al estrenarse en 1946- la obra maestra de Sartre en la escena.Sin duda por su carácter de 'drama de la resistencia', por el modo en que exhibe crudamente el estado anímico de sus personajes y las torturas morales y físicas de que son víctimas, se explica que haya promovido las más vivas reacciones. Pero no es un drama del heroísmo, no es un drama del sacrificio, es un drama del orgullo.

Jean-Paul Sartre (Paris, June 21, 1905 – April 15, 1980) was a French philosopher, novelist, playwright, and political activist, considered the main representative of existentialism and a key figure in twentieth-century thought. He studied at the École Normale Supérieure, where he met Simone de Beauvoir, his lifelong intellectual and romantic partner.

His most influential philosophical work, Being and Nothingness (1943), develops an ontology based on the radical freedom of human beings, proposing that “existence precedes essence,” meaning we are not predetermined and must construct ourselves through our choices. In literature, he stood out with Nausea (1938) and the play No Exit (1944), where he addressed the absurdity of existence and human relationships.

Sartre was also a committed political activist: he participated in the French Resistance during World War II, supported decolonization movements, and was critical of capitalism and totalitarianism. In 1964, he declined the Nobel Prize in Literature, believing that a writer should not be institutionalized.

He died in 1980, leaving a philosophical and literary legacy that continues to influence ethics, politics, and existential theory.
