Marta Tirado

I am PhD candidate at the University of Barcelona and research assistant for “Ethical issues in contemporary British theatre since 1989: globalization, theatricality, spectatorship”, a three-year research funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (FFI2012-31842)

I hold a BA with a major in Humanities (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona), a BA in Drama and Performing Arts, with a major in Directing and Dramaturgy (ESAD, Institut del Teatre, Barcelona), and an MA in Comparative Studies in Literature, Arts and Thought (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona). My minor thesis, which was supervised by Carles Besa (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona), focused on a comparative analysis of the poetics of Sarah Kane’s Crave and the play by the Catalan playwright Lluïsa Cunillé, Apocalipsi.

I am currently working on my PhD thesis, which analyses the ethical subject in the plays of Kane from an aesthetic perspective and is supervised by Mireia Aragay.

I am a member of the three-year research project entitled “Ethical issues in contemporary British theatre since 1989: globalization, theatricality, spectatorship”, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (FFI2012-31842). I also form part of the CBT Barcelona research group recognized by the Catalan research agency AGAUR (2014 SGR 49). Research group's website: http://www.ub.edu/cbtbarcelona/
