The Renaissance theater is a theater that aims to imitate the classical Greco-Latin authors.

The humanistic tendency of the theater culminates in the purely Renaissance character.

Within this theater several different types are established such as profane, religious or palatial theater.

Renaissance theater claims or believes to be a resurrection of classical theater. His idea of tragedy is not the Greek one, but the Roman one, conceived as a salon play and whose scenography must have been very complicated.

Dramatic works are composed focused on the man and more focused on the characters and their customs than on morality.

The author presents the Renaissance man as knowledge and strength and not only presents weapons well, but also has a culture showing skill with the sword and the pen.

This Renaissance theater presents several characteristics according to the position of Garcilaso de la Vega, one of the greatest references of the Spanish Renaissance.
