Lorca i Catalunya

Antonina Rodrigo

The premiere of two plays by Federico García Lorca in Barcelona shows the strong relationship that the poet and playwright maintained with the city, also thanks to some of his most important artistic acquaintances, such as Margarita Xirgu. At Madrid’s Residencia de Estudiantes, García Lorca had already come into contact with Catalan culture through his friend Salvador Dalí and, after his first visit to Catalonia in 1925, he cultivated a solid link with our country throughout his life.
