García Lorca: The poet’s inner world at Teatre Romea
On the 80th anniversary of the death of the poet, Pep Tosar approaches the inner world of Federico García Lorca in a surprising and formidable journey through the landscapes of Castile and Andalusia. This inspiring and stimulating production brings Lorca's poetry and life to the stage his works have so often filled. It provides a unique insight that will allow you to better understand the poet who sang to life and death with the same intensity, through works such as Mariana Pineda (1928), Blood Wedding (1933), Yerma (1934), and many more.
The montage runs through the most vital events in the poet's life and gives them their own soundtrack. Connections are also established between the biographical fragments and the works that Lorca wrote during those periods. The performance is in Spanish.
