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:
“‘Tis too plain that with the material power the moral progress has not kept pace. It appears that we have not made a judicious investment. Works and days were offered us, and we took works.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“And when discipline is concerned, the parent who has to make it to the end of an eighteen-hour day—who works at a job and then takes on a second shift with the kids every night—is much more likely to adopt the survivor’s motto: “If it works, I’ll use it.” From this perspective, dads who are even slightly less involved and emphasize firm limits or character- building might as well be talking a foreign language. They just don’t get it.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“There is a great deal of self-denial and manliness in poor and middle-class houses, in town and country, that has not got into literature, and never will, but that keeps the earth sweet; that saves on superfluities, and spends on essentials; that goes rusty, and educates the boy; that sells the horse, but builds the school; works early and late, takes two looms in the factory, three looms, six looms, but pays off the mortgage on the paternal farm, and then goes back cheerfully to work again.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
