Juan Gutiérrez Gili (Irún, 1894- Barcelona, 1939) is a writer virtually unknown to most historians of Literature. Author of two books of poetry that had some echo, he was a member of avant-garde movements such as Ultraísmo and Creationismo. He wrote plays influenced by those movements: they are nurtured by elements of de-humanized art and classical theatre forms, such as farce and pantomime.

This monograph is a thorough analysis of those plays in the avant-garde movement context. It is also a critical edition of the plays, with samples of the rich and intense correspondence he had with Juan Ramón Jiménez, Gregorio Martínez Sierra, Guillermo de Torre and Rafael Barradas.
