Abstract
As perhaps no other of Federico García Lorca’s works for the stage, his unfinished and posthumously published play El público (“the public” or “the audience”) stands out for its formal difficulty and idiosyncrasy: called unstageable and “a poem to be booed at” by Lorca, El público is an iconoclastic metatheatrical drama that draws on international vanguardist desires to offend rather than to entertain audiences. However, few commentators have explicitly connected the play’s radical vision for the theatre to its concern with queer representation, or what I call queer visibility. This article argues that El público self-consciously dramatizes a search for a modern theatre by reflecting on the spectator’s ability to see and endure queer visibility on stage. Applying an unapologetically queer reading to the play’s absorption of international influences, this article also aims to recover El público for the canon of queer modernist drama.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
