Una representaci�n del dolor cotidiano, familiar, formulado con una expresi�n bella, precisa e inquietante, que trastorna el reposo del espectador.


La �ltima obra de teatro que Lorca termin�, pero no llegar�a a verla representada. El poeta, adem�s, nunca coment� nada sobre ella, por lo que se presenta como una de sus piezas m�s enigm�ticas.


Protagonizada por personas corrientes que salen del pueblo, negando la heroicidad, La casa de Bernarda Alba representa el dolor cotidiano, familiar, hasta sus �ltimas consecuencias. Lorca opt� por un teatro representable, con un argumento asequible y, por ello, absolutamente cr�tico y eficaz al enfrentar al p�blico con su propia m�scara. Y lo hizo, adem�s, con una expresi�n bella y precisa, poes�a puramente dram�tica, apoyado en palabras inquietantes que trastornan el reposo del espectador.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A portrayal of everyday, family pain, expressed with beauty, precision, and unsettling intensity that disturbs the viewer's peace.


The last play Lorca completed, though he never saw it performed. The poet never commented on it, making it one of his most enigmatic works.


Starring ordinary people from the village, rejecting heroism, La casa de Bernarda Alba portrays the harshness of family pain to its ultimate consequences. Lorca chose a theater meant to be staged, with an accessible plot, and therefore profoundly critical and effective in confronting the audience with its own mask. He achieved this with a beautiful and precise expression, pure dramatic poetry, supported by unsettling words that "disturb the viewer's rest."

García Lorca, Federico: -

Federico García Lorca, hijo de un rico propietario y de una maestra, vivió una infancia rural a la que sumó una completa formación. Se trasladó a Madrid, donde se alojó en la Residencia de Estudiantes y conoció a sus compañeros de generación y a muchas figuras del panorama artístico. En este ambiente conoce las Vanguardias, pero su personal sensibilidad sobrepasa las modas y triunfa definitivamente con su emblemático Romancero gitano. Tras vivir una enriquecedora temporada en Cuba y Nueva York (el impacto de esta ciudad da lugar a Poeta en Nueva York), vuelve a España. Durante la República, dirige la compañía La Barraca, grupo teatral universitario con el que llevó el teatro clásico por todos los rincones de España. En 1933 visita Buenos Aires, donde sus dramas obtienen gran éxito. De regreso, Lorca, que es ya poeta de éxito, manifiesta públicamente sus ideas de izquierdas; este hecho lo pone en el punto de mira de los nacionales, que lo asesinan nada más estallar la guerra civil, dos meses después de terminar La casa de Bernarda Alba. Otras obras destacadas del autor son Poema del cante jondo, La zapatera prodigiosa, Bodas de sangre, Yerma, Doña Rosita la soltera o el lenguaje de las flores, Mariana Pineda y El público, todas ellas publicadas en Austral.




Federico García Lorca, son of a wealthy landowner and a teacher, spent a rural childhood complemented by a thorough education. He moved to Madrid, where he stayed at the Residencia de Estudiantes and met his generational peers along with many figures of the artistic scene. In this environment he encountered the Avant-garde, but his personal sensitivity surpassed fashions and triumphed definitively with his emblematic Gypsy Ballads. After living an enriching period in Cuba and New York (the impact of this city gave rise to Poet in New York), he returned to Spain. During the Republic, he directed the company La Barraca, a university theater group that brought classical theater to every corner of Spain. In 1933 he visited Buenos Aires, where his dramas achieved great success. Upon returning, Lorca, already a celebrated poet, publicly expressed his leftist ideas; this put him in the crosshairs of the Nationalists, who assassinated him at the outbreak of the Civil War, two months after finishing The House of Bernarda Alba. Other notable works by the author include Poem of the Deep Song, The Shoemaker's Prodigious Wife, Blood Wedding, Yerma, Doña Rosita the Spinster or The Language of the Flowers, Mariana Pineda, and The Public, all published in Austral.
