Overview

Football is not only played. It is performed. Every match is full of gestures that go beyond the ball: exaggerated falls, choreographed protests, rehearsed celebrations, calculated silences and collective emotions that turn the stadium into a stage. In The Dramaturgy of Football, journalist Enrique Sierra explores football as a form of theatre and cultural expression. The book analyses the body language of players, the referee as a dramatic antagonist, the bench as a theatrical space, the role of television cameras and media repetition, and the emotional narratives that shape modern football. Drawing on more than thirty years of experience in radio, television and print journalism, Sierra offers an insightful and accessible essay that does not seek to judge the game, but to understand it. This book invites readers to see football differently: not only as a sport, but as one of the great popular spectacles of our time.
