Show: «Microclásicos: Bodas de sangre»

At Teatro Victoria, wedding preparations end in tragedy. Here, «Bodas de sangre» by Federico García Lorca is performed in a short version by the Paloma Mejía company. The production is part of the «Microclásicos» series and has been in the theatre’s repertoire since 2021.

At the heart of the story are emotions shaped by rules and family expectations. Desire clashes with duty and honour, and as the wedding is discussed, a sense of threat becomes increasingly clear. Lorca’s verse and prose sustain this tension, gradually drawing the characters towards the outcome.

The adaptation shortens the play’s length but keeps the full plot and the characters’ traits. This format allows the entire story to be followed in a brief performance, without limiting it to only its most famous scenes.
