—It brings together two of the stars of Chilean theater today: playwright Carla Zúñiga and director Jesús Urqueta, who have worked together before on Prefiero que me coman los perros.

—It’s a novel way of looking at Federico García Lorca’s key works, stripped down to the metaphor of a family in puritan and authoritarian Spain at the beginning of the century. It’s a contemporary take on the criticism of the patriarchy and gender issues that the original piece deals with.

Federico García Lorca: The most-read Spanish poet of all time was born in Fuentevaqueros in 1898 and belonged to the famous Generation of ’27. He mainly wrote poetry and theater, including world-famous pieces such as Bodas de sangre, Yerma and La casa de Bernarda Alba, as well as collections of poems that have become stalwarts of the Spanish language, such as Poeta en Nueva York and Romancero gitano. He was executed in 1936, at the beginning of the civil war.

The Spanish Civil War: The biggest war in Europe following the First World War, this conflict began in 1936, pitting two sides against each other for almost three years: the nationalists - led by General Francisco Franco - who aimed to overthrow the government and the republicans, who wanted to preserve democracy. On April 1, 1939, Franco was declared victorious and set up a dictatorship that lasted until his death in 1975. This conflict led to the death of more than 700,000 people, with around 400,000 going into exile - mainly to France - and 220,000 leaving Spain for good.
