The foundation

Original title: La fundación
Not started 1974 Theater Spanish 527 pp.

Synopsis

Five men (Tomás, Tulio, Asel, Lino and Max), who seem to work for a research center called La Fundación, share space in what seems to be a nice room with nice views. Only a bad smell and the presence of a sick person seem to disturb the environment. As progress is made in the development of the dialogues, it is discovered that such a situation is only the subjective perception of one of the characters, Tomás, through which the spectator knows that the room is actually a cell, that The Foundation is a prison and that the five characters are five prisoners sentenced to death. They are there because Thomas himself, subjected to torture, gave up his fellow organization. His sense of guilt caused him to lose the sense of reality. In the end, the scene is empty, returning its luxurious room appearance in which new guests will be installed.
