Based on a new adaptation by Chay Yew
Written by Federico García Lorca
Directed by Granada Artist-in-Residence Juliette
Carrillo.
UC Davis Department of Theatre and Dance presents a unique and
timeless production of The House of Bernarda Alba
directed by Granada Artist-in-Residence Juliette Carrillo whose
work has been praised in The New York Times. Carrillo’s
interpretation of Lorca’s famous work is Victorian Gothic with a
modern twist. Wrought with sexual tension, The House of
Bernarda Alba inspects the effects of a male dominated and
hierarchical society upon women as five daughters are confined to
their mother’s house for an 8-year period of mourning. Vocals,
electric guitar and other instruments add a haunting dimension to
the play’s themes of repression, passion and conformity.
This production is rated PG-13 for sexuality, adult language and
violence.
There will be audience talk-backs with director, cast and
designers immediately after the show on March 9 and 18.
