Surrealistic Exploration of Life & Death
The play opens with Spanish poet and playwright, Federico García Lorca, being led to the “Lorca room,” a purgatorial space where Lorca, who in real life was murdered by nationalist militia at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War, relives various memories and the last few minutes of his sudden death. In this space, he encounters different versions of himself: Lorca in a Green Dress (his true self and hidden desires), Lorca in a White Suit (the public persona), Lorca as a Woman (the female muses in his life), and Lorca in Bicycle Pants (the childlike dreamer), all helping guide him to accept his fate. “Señoras y señores, before the night of theatre descends, welcome to my legend of fountains, words that moan, the story of an orange and a lemon, a dream of thirteen boats, the voices of hammers singing, my microscopic moons. Here comes the grass. Green wind. Green boughs. Let my play begin…”

“This is a timely play considering the current political climate in our country. We risk history repeating itself.”
