EL PÚBLICO

Teatro de la Abadia, Madrid

2015

"Destroy the theatre or live in the theatre"; exclaims Lorca in this play with which she wanted to break new ground. And this is exactly what she is talking about: the courage to break with the past, with inertia, tradition, repression - both artistically and emotionally - and to do what you really want to do.

El público, written in 1929-30, speaks about the theatre and about desire, through a masque in which fiction and reality overlap, in which identities are in constant metamorphosis, in a constant search for authenticity, honesty and freedom.
