In 1936, Lorca wrote perhaps one of the most feminist plays in our country.
The house of Bernarda Alba denounced the machismo of the time.
Now, Lorca's work has become even more feminist without women.
Men have replaced the role traditionally played by actresses to put themselves in their place, among them Eusebio Poncela, Oscar de la Fuente or Jaime Lorente.
They are now the oppressed.
The play has been adapted by the playwright José Manuel Mora, Max 2015 award.
The director of the work Carlota Ferrer declared on the work in an interview: "The curtain opens.
In a museum, the work La casa de Bernarda Alba by Federico García Lorca is exhibited.
A group of male artists build a series of plastic installations and performative scenes from the fable left to us by the poet, embodying female roles and thus challenging the established norm that female characters are to be played by women. "
In 'This is not the House of Bernarda Alba' we are faced with the search for a radical feminist discourse, that is, that tries to travel to the root: by putting in the mouths of men actors and dancers the words of Federico (in many occasions his characters manifest the desire to be men to be able to enjoy freedom), highlights the fragility of women before the dominant vision of the hetero-patriarchal order and its management of the world through fear.
In the end, this vision proposes a song to freedom from the creative imagination where image, poetry, music and dance are merged, "concludes the director.
