| The Play | ||||||||
| Blood Wedding is a tale of a community of people who are bound passionately to the savage landscape in which they live and toil to grow and nourish life. Mixed with this beauty and vitality is a poisonous history of family feuds, and most young women must endure a lifetime of widowhood and bitterness as they watch generations of young men grow old enough to fall in love, procreate, and bleed on the end of another young man's knife. There is a sense of inevitable tragedy linked with what it means to be a passionate Spaniard in Lorca's work. What he tells us is that in order to feel this "duende" which is, in sum, “the spirit of the earth," we must risk the dangers that accompany it, and those who have duende, cannot help but suffer the consequences. | ||||||||
