Alejandro Casona plays with fantasy and reality in his theatre. We are faced with a staging of theatre within theatre, not in the Pirandelian way, but using elements of vaudeville. Trees Die Standing Up offers us a world touched by fantasy and characters that exemplify a moral idea. From the stage they aim to show and demonstrate to the spectator the good, the beauty, the life in its most genuine, kind and wonderful expression. Their function is to guide towards the path of the crystalline and clean sources of a better life.
