Overview
Una representación del dolor cotidiano, familiar, formulado con una expresión bella, precisa e inquietante, que trastorna el reposo del espectador.
La última obra de teatro que Lorca terminó, pero no llegaría a verla representada. El poeta, además, nunca comentó nada sobre ella, por lo que se presenta como una de sus piezas más enigmáticas.
Protagonizada por personas corrientes que salen del pueblo, negando la heroicidad, La casa de Bernarda Alba representa el dolor cotidiano, familiar, hasta sus últimas consecuencias. Lorca optó por un teatro representable, con un argumento asequible y, por ello, absolutamente crítico y eficaz al enfrentar al público con su propia máscara. Y lo hizo, además, con una expresión bella y precisa, poesía puramente dramática, 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.”
