About this event

Poncia in the midst of a storm of fog, Poncia, the maid of Bernarda Alba, prays for the death of Adela. The house has sunk into a sea of silence. Poncia speaks to herself and also with Bernarda Alba and her daughters. This is the rendering of a text written from the interventions of the character of Poncia in the work of Federico García Lorca. Through a deep analysis of the character, she rescues her interventions and turns them into reflection, soliloquies, dialogues with ghosts and shadows. We hear the voice of the maid to illuminate the dark corners of Lorca's work. Poncia speaks of suicide, freedom, guilt, class, education and sex. And she speaks with all the strength of a voice that has been abused and silenced. The soul of «la Poncia» opens to insist on the need to transfer to others the idea of loving each other in freedom.
