This exhibition explores the concept of the grotesque, a core of aesthetic thought capable of offering new perspectives on reality. Developed by the writer Ramón María del Valle-Inclán (1866-1936) as a tool of critical questioning in response to the backwardness and moral despair that plagued Spain in the first half of the 20th century, the grotesque confronts the country’s social, political and cultural constraints, insisting on the distance of the gaze and a range of aesthetic strategies to deform with maximum efficiency. 
Unlike other cultural representations of the grotesque that emerged in Europe, in which horrific distortions embodied the absurdity of life during that period, the grotesque proposed a new aesthetic that needed to be dedicated to the renewal of social structures. Through extensive documentation and various works of art, this exhibition explores the main themes and strategies that express the grotesque, emphasizing that it is an aesthetic proposal that survived Valle-Inclán’s time and thought. 
The exhibition is divided into eight main sections. It begins with the Antes del esperpento of the last decades of the 19th century, which displayed a selection of satirical news, drawings and popular optical devices of the time, which were forerunners of anamorphosis.
