PERFORMANCE | DANCE | SPAIN
A chronicle of events, a real event that occurred on the night of July 22, 1928, served as inspiration for Lorca for his work “Blood Wedding.” A forbidden love in a society that keeps appearances. An instinctive force that tends towards irrational union, opposing, without seeking it, social convention. On her wedding day a bride escapes with her lover. The groom follows them and the outcome takes place.
The body uses movement to tell a story of cursed love. A danced chronicle of the work, a flamenco version of the story.
