Impossible Lorca: A Theatrical Hat-Trick

Impossible Lorca: A Theatrical Hat-Trick is three “miniatures” belonging to a collection of work which Lorca himself termed as “impossible theatre.” A world where gravity is non-essential, stage directions seem unrealizable on the stage, where plot does not exist and raw, naked emotion is the only thing you can trust. Rooted in surrealism, these plays resist being straightforward, refuse to give any answers, but above all, leave themselves open to interpretation. In Buster Keaton Takes A Walk, we watch the famous silent film star negotiate a dangerous American landscape. Chimera exposes the painful goodbye between a man and his family. And finally, in The Maiden, The Sailor and The Student, a young woman prepares herself for marriage, struggling with the concepts of womanhood and doomed love.
