Works
Miralles was one of the essential names of independent theater for 60 years, and one of the founders of the Spanish Association of Playwrights, of which he later became president. His theater is always critical and demystifying and current on any proposed formal innovation: all procedures used freely dramatic serving a challenging critical work that breaks with conventions and values. In that sense, Miralles is a radical author.
He has also premiered numerous adaptations of classical texts and books for children. He taught at the Institut del Teatre of Barcelona from 1966 to 1974 and Imaginary Arts Workshop in Madrid since 1979. He gave numerous workshops, lectures and conferences and wrote several books on teaching theater.
Miralles is the author of numerous scholarly articles on theater published in national newspapers and magazines of the trade. He published the novels Una semana pintada de negro, which won the Maritime University Prize, and Mi país es tu piel.
He wrote about 40 plays and 7 trials and directed about 30. For all these works received over 30 awards.

Famous quotes containing the word works:
“The whole idea of image is so confused. On the one hand, Madison Avenue is worried about the image of the players in a tennis tour. On the other hand, sports events are often sponsored by the makers of junk food, beer, and cigarettes. What’s the message when an athlete who works at keeping her body fit is sponsored by a sugar-filled snack that does more harm than good?”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
“Are you there, Africa with the bulging chest and oblong thigh? Sulking Africa, wrought of iron, in the fire, Africa of the millions of royal slaves, deported Africa, drifting continent, are you there? Slowly you vanish, you withdraw into the past, into the tales of castaways, colonial museums, the works of scholars.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
“In doing good, we are generally cold, and languid, and sluggish; and of all things afraid of being too much in the right. But the works of malice and injustice are quite in another style. They are finished with a bold, masterly hand; touched as they are with the spirit of those vehement passions that call forth all our energies, whenever we oppress and persecute..”
—Edmund Burke (1729–97)
