  • Between 1931 and 1936, the Republican Generalitat articulated its theater policy as part of an ambitious cultural plan designed with institutionalization in mind. This article analyzes the approach of the Catalan government with regard to the theater and considers the intense debates generated by its policies—with specific emphasis on the gap between intentions and results. The convulsive political circumstances of the moment, the insufficiencies and incompetence of the Generalitat, the general state crisis of the European theater scene, and the specific problems of the Catalan stage made it necessary to lower the ideal expectations originally proposed and with which it aspired to create a "theatrical institution," either through the nationalization of theaters, or through the creation from the ground up of a National Theater of Catalunya. Yet, far from being able to bring these projects to fruition, the Catalan government had to limit itself to guaranteeing, through the funding of companies, the promotion of the Ignasi Iglésias Prize, or the reorganization of the Institució del Teatre, a minimum degree of stability and public presence of the Catalan theater scene within the cultural system of the period
