Bodas de sangre by Federico García Lorca ES
SpainDescription:
El tema de esta obra surgió a raíz de una noticia aparecida en prensa: dos amantes se fugan en la víspera de la boda de la mujer con otro hombre. García Lorca convierte la realidad en poesía. En su obra hay ansias de libertad, andalucismo, simbolismo y muerte, pero por encima de todo, poesía dramática. Bodas de sangre es, pues, una obra teatral donde las desgarradas pasiones de sus protagonistas se desatan ante la atenta mirada de la luna, personificación hermosa y terrible de la muerte.

Description:
Zavalita y el zambo Ambrosio conversan en La Catedral. Estamos en Perú, durante el ochenio dictatorial del general Manuel A. Odría. Unas cuantas cervezas y un río de palabras en libertad para responder a la palabra amordazada por la dictadura. Los personajes, las historias que éstos cuentan, los fragmentos que van encajando, conforman la descripción minuciosa de un envilecimiento colectivo, el repaso de todos los caminos que hacen desembocar a un pueblo entero en la frustración.
