El público

Director Alfonso Zurro (El ascensor, Las bragas o La estrella de Sevilla) adapts and directs one of the most outstanding works in Federico García Lorca's career. This adaptation can be seen from 1 to 18 October, Tuesday to Sunday, in the Sala Guirau of the Fernán Gómez Centro Cultural de la Villa.

Written around 1930 in Cuba after Lorca's trip to New York (United States), this text belongs to what is known as Lorca's "impossible theatre", alongside Así que pasen cinco años and Comedia sin título. It is a surrealist production in which the plot's reality becomes intertwined with the characters' hallucinations. One of the great symbols of modern Spanish theatre, it examines repressed homosexual desires while defending amorous and artistic freedom.

In this piece, the protagonist is the audience itself, which the production immerses in the interior of human consciousness, questioning the notion of individuality and criticising the way society transforms one's own will.

To bring the production to life, Zurro counts on the participation of the actors Juan Motilla, Lorena Ávila, Luis Alberto Domínguez, Santi Rivera, Raquel de Sola, Iñigo Núñez, Piermario Salerno, José María del Castillo and Silvia Beaterio.
