Event Description

Federico García Lorca’s final masterpiece, The House of Bernarda Alba, was completed on June 19, 1936, just two months before he was assassinated by Nationalist forces at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War.
In the wake of her second husband’s death, the formidable Bernarda Alba declares an eight-year mourning period, sealing her household in silence and shadows. But - she has five unmarried daughters whom she has raised under strict control and who have now been barred from going outside or to have any relationships with men. But repression has its consequences, and within the suffocating walls of the house, desire, jealousy, and defiance begin to simmer.
Though originally a portrait of women’s lives in rural Spain, this production shows that the more things change, the more they stand still.
