Overview
Una de las piezas teatrales imprescindibles de Federico García Lorca.
Federico García Lorca dirigió La Barraca, experiencia teatral decisiva para la escena española. Desde 1918, cuando publicó su primer libro, hasta su muerte, no dejó nunca de componer versos y escribir teatro. Austral presenta en este volumen Bodas de sangre, ejemplo esencial de su obra dramática en el que construye una tragedia cargada de lirismo y de elementos simbólicos a partir de un hecho real, de una pequeña noticia del periódico. Escenifica, en prosa y en verso, la crónica llena de presagios de una pasión, de la lucha por una mujer que lleva hasta la muerte a los dos rivales.
Quien fuera director de la Real Academia Española, Fernando Lázaro Carreter, analiza en su Introducción la génesis de la tragedia y su posición en la obra de Lorca, desvelando su simbología y su significación última: «Es la mujer la figura en que se anuda el hilo conductor de la tragedia: los hombres son simples contrapuntos, motivos externos de la pasión de las mujeres.»
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
One of Federico García Lorca's essential theatrical pieces.
Federico García Lorca directed La Barraca, a pivotal theatrical experience for the Spanish stage. From 1918, when he published his first book, until his death, he never stopped composing poetry and writing plays. Austral presents in this volumeBlood Wedding an essential example of his dramatic work, where he constructs a tragedy filled with lyricism and symbolic elements based on a real event, a small newspaper article. He stages, in prose and verse, the foreboding chronicle of a passion, the struggle for a woman that leads two rivals to their deaths.
Fernando Lázaro Carreter, former director of the Royal Spanish Academy, analyzes in his Introduction the genesis of the tragedy and its place in Lorca’s work, revealing its symbolism and ultimate significance: “It is the woman who ties the thread of the tragedy: the men are mere counterpoints, external motives of the women’s passion".
