...And the giant who adorns the tail of the Golden Age is Calderón de la Barca, whose philosophical ``Vie à vie'' (``Life is a Dream'') and ``The Mayor of Salamea,'' which depict the honor of the common people, using the elaborate style and stage composition typical of the Baroque period, are among the pinnacles of Spanish theater.
