10th Annual Black Box International Theatre and Dance Festival 2016

June 1 (Wednesday), 7 pm. at Chamber Hall – Plovdiv Drama Theatre
“Blood Wedding “- Abrego Theatre – Spain
Solo Performance by Maria Vidal

“Blood Wedding “ by Pati Domenech based on Federico García Lorca’s “Blood Wedding” was created in 2010 in the International Institute of Performing Arts of New York and since then was shown in 32 countries.
Lorca managed to get to a remote theatrical aesthetic audience, introducing the basic problems of Spanish society of the time through farce, comedy, irony and drama which were the result of the most notorious scandals and controversies of time. Just as Lorca did, the Abrego Theatre sets the goal of recreating the story in which the poet was based, producing alive performances that were accessible to contemporary audiences of our time.
In this interdisciplinary show where the singing, flamenco and contemporary dance, acting interpretation and video projection combine, there are three tragic stories that weave together.
Directed by Pati Domenech and Jorge López
This guest performance is supported by Cervantes Institute – Sofia.
