Diálogos

Alfredo Sanzol's staging at the Teatro Valle-Inclán brings together brief pieces by Federico García Lorca written in the 1920s, some published and others unpublished, in the idiom of contemporary theatre.

Alfredo Sanzol adapts and directs this production, created by the Centro Dramático Nacional to mark the centenary of the Generación del 27. It recovers fragments by Federico García Lorca that barely reached the stages of his time, texts the author himself considered difficult to stage and which, a century later, are read through the language of today's stage.

On stage, several of the dialogues are conceived almost as scores for the body: movement, silence and sound carry as much weight as the word. Animals, bodies, landscapes and characters move through a universe of images and allegories where love, death, desire and frustration appear, alongside violence, sexuality and the longing for freedom.

The show also looks at the poet's biography. Lorca transformed his own frustrations and longings into poetry, and El paseo de Buster Keaton, written after his return from Cadaqués, serves as the starting point for examining the relationship between personal experience, unrequited passion and creation. These are fragments Lorca conceived as a book, which remained scattered among publications and notebooks.
