Esto no es la casa de Bernarda Alba

“La casa de Bernarda Alba” represents the conflict between the desire for freedom (personified in the character of Adela) and the principle of authority (incarnated in Bernarda Alba). But freedom takes place through the conquest of Pepe el Romano. Because in the second half of the past century, many women gained freedom from the paternal yoke by finding a man and getting pregnant. False freedom, since they simply became chained to a new authority (the husband, in this case, and future father). First paradox.

Adela’s true libertarian act is to reject this false freedom through suicide. And here the second paradox emerges, since it is Bernarda who provides Adela’s soul with true freedom. Between these two paradoxes resides the inexhaustible and subversive power of this classic play by García Lorca, performed in a free adaptation with a cast headed up by Eusebio Poncela, and with the participation of Igor Yebra, among others. A proposed dialogue with the thought and emotions of the text.
