La Casa de Bernarda Alba

Dance show bringing the drama of La Casa de Bernarda Alba to the stage: a mother who rules her five daughters with an iron hand while the youngest rebels against her.

Bernarda Alba, widowed for a second time, imposes absolute authority over her household without regard for the desires or emotions of her five daughters. The women of the family live in mourning and under lock and key under her command. Obsessed with keeping up appearances and her social position, she clashes with the rebelliousness of the youngest, Adela, who defies the silence and repression that reign in the home.

This dance production transposes the drama into the language of flamenco, and each woman on stage is represented by a flamenco palo, so that the staging relies on dance to show the conflict between the mother and her daughters.

The plot unfolds through lies, jealousy and envy towards a tragic ending. The performance takes place at the Teatro de Triana, in Seville.
