Abstract

According to Counter-Reformation religious practices, sensory perception and audiovisual methods facilitate evangelizing. This paper deals with the relationship between the above mentioned means and methods and the Golden Age religious theater through some samples from Calderón's. In this work an attempt has been made to argue on the process by which sensory methods prevent the audience from personal meditation decanting them to colective, automatic devotion by means of assuming the comedy's Christian message.
