LUCIA LACARRA BALLET: LOST LETTERS
What would have happened to her if she’d never received the letter?
In any wartime situation over history, handwritten letters sent from the front-line and their concerned replies from home provided a vital connection between soldiers and their family and loved ones. What might have happened if one of these missives had been lost? Based on a real letter written by a World War One artilleryman, Frank Bracey, to his wife, Win, Lost Letters imagines how this woman’s fate might have been different if she had never received a letter sent by her dear husband. Lost Letters turns a true story into a script and an original plot for a ballet.
Lost Letters is a ballet inspired by real love letters written during several wars, put on display in the exhibition War Letters: Lost and Found, organised by the Smithsonian National Postal Museum on the centenary of the Great War. Furthermore, the world première of Lost Letters in the Arriaga Theatre will be a further milestone, as it marks the first performance by Lucia Lacarra Ballet.
Lost Letters is a show created in co-production with the Arriaga Theatre, Kursaal Eszena and the Granada International Music and Dance Festival, working with the Teatros del Canal from Madrid.
