From 16 to 18 June, the Espacio Escénico Iglesia de las Bernardas de Almagro (Ciudad Real), hosted the academicconference of the "V Festival de Autos Sacramentales" (V f.AU-S). Organised by the Fundación Teatro Corral de Comedias de Almagro, at partnership with the group de research Teatro Clásico Español (GITCE) of the Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, the group de research Siglo de Oro (GRISO) of the School de Philosophy y Letras of the Universidad de Navarra and the Universidad Nacional de Education a Distancia (UNED), these meetings have as goal to recover the genre of the auto sacramental for today's stages.

The programme included seven papers and a roundtable on the renaissance/revival of the auto sacramental in our times. Representing GRISO were Carlos Mata, with a discussion paper entitled "Caupolicán-Cristo en el auto sacramental La Araucana, traditionally attributed to Lope de Vega and more recently to Andrés de Claramonte", and Rafael Zafra, who spoke on "Las loas sacramentales: parte fundamental de la fiesta teatral del Corpus".
