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:
“Was it an intellectual consequence of this ‘rebirth,’ of this new dignity and rigor, that, at about the same time, his sense of beauty was observed to undergo an almost excessive resurgence, that his style took on the noble purity, simplicity and symmetry that were to set upon all his subsequent works that so evident and evidently intentional stamp of the classical master.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“The ancients of the ideal description, instead of trying to turn their impracticable chimeras, as does the modern dreamer, into social and political prodigies, deposited them in great works of art, which still live while states and constitutions have perished, bequeathing to posterity not shameful defects but triumphant successes.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“In all Works of This, and of the Dramatic Kind, STORY, or AMUSEMENT, should be considered as little more than the Vehicle to the more necessary INSTRUCTION.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
