The house of Benarda Alba by Federico García Lorca

""La casa de Bernarda Alba" tells the story of Bernarda Alba, widowed for the second time at the age of sixty, and her daughters, forced into a mourning that will unleash tragedy. This play is considered Lorca's most mature work. Its realistic character and the oppression in the chest felt before the repression of women trapped in a cold hell of mourning, jealousy, silence and dashed dreams has been interpreted as a harbinger of the dark times that were to come and in which Lorca himself would become a premature victim.
