Spanish Drama Begins Wednesday
At 8 p. m. Wednesday in Fraser Theater, the University Theatre will bring to life the last play of Federico Garcia Lorca, "The House of Bernarda Alba," completed only a few days before he faced a rebel firing squad. The play will run through Saturday night.
Lorca had already established himself as a poetic genius by 1931, when he turned to playwriting. Although he wrote fares, he has been compared with Balzac, Ostrovsky and Ibsen because of his social dramas, "Yerma" and "Blood Wedding."
Story of Honor
He based his writings on folklore and tradition rather than foreign subjects. But he represents a break with this tradition in his dramas of sensual, brutal and dynamic realism. His immortality lies in his being a dramatic poet, not a poetic dramatist.
"The House of Bernarda Alba" is the story of honor versus sexual instinct. Spanish society dictates: "Dishonor is death, honor is life." As the domineering mother of five daughters, Bernarda Alba embodies this philosophy and tradition which sacrifices everything to honor, even life and happiness.
One observer explains: "In Spain people live in closed houses, fighting for their own privacy, their own identity. But all the houses are really open, since each is fighting against the privacy of others, against letting them live their own lives."
In the play, the widowed Bernarda has forced the accepted eight-year mourning period upon her daughters. She has forbidden them social intercourse during that time and adds: "I pry into no
one's heart. I want only to put up a good front," and thereby rushes into the tragedy brewing in her daughters' hearts.
Killed For Political Reasons
The reasons for Lorca's execution are believed to have been political. In particuari, some of his poetry romanticized the gypsies aforest his native Granada who had long been the enemies of the universally hated Civil Guard or rural police. Thousands died in the war-torn Spain of 1936, and Lorca, who wanted only to revitalize not revolutionize Spanish tradition, received immediate attention and ultimate recognition through his untimely death. This tragedy was a great blow to modern Spanish drama. For not only was Lorca a director of touring companies taking theater to remote corners of Spain, but he was also his own best interpreter.
