Lorca's word more alive than ever
Juan Diego Botto steps into the shoes of Federico García Lorca to bring us closer to the lesser-known aspects of the poet's life and work, with the desire to identify what challenges us and make it alive and current.
Through irony and emotion, the poet recounts his time at the Residencia de Estudiantes, the reviews he received for Yerma, his experience at La Barraca, his relationship with the press, the love affairs and the tension of later years, as well as the need for artistic freedom, for freedom of expression and for finding sexual identity and the importance of memory and roots.

Since I've been doing theatre, I've always felt that I was doing it "despite everything." Not to earn my bread (it goes without saying that these days this is a utopia), but because of a vital need: inevitably, I do theatre; unquestionably, I do theatre; unwaveringly, I do theatre.
Today, doing theatre is a feat. Apart from being more necessary than ever.
On 15 July 2020, we rolled up our sleeves to undertake the feat of carrying forward this piece by my friend through thick and thin and in life and art, Juan Diego Botto. Unwaveringly. Unquestionably. Inevitably. We are perhaps speaking of a wounded theatre, but more alive than ever.
