A Bloody Wedding
by Paper Chairs

Aug. 04 - Aug. 13, 2022

Lorca was born (1898) and murdered (1936) in rural Andalucia at the onset of the Spanish Civil War. Before his death, he wrote a trilogy of tragedies based on the impossible trappings of rural life. The first of these, Bodas de Sangre, depicts a long-held feud between two families set off again by an ill-fated marriage proposal that takes two men to the grave. This adaptation digs into the rigid rules of Lorca's world and where they collide with Texas in 2022. Love and marriage? Happily ever after? Not so much. Lorca points us to something deeper, darker and more difficult to name.

Collaborators include: Elizabeth Doss, Alex Bassiakou, Bird Caviel, Dustin Wills, Jose Hernadez, Robert Pierson, Matt Hislope, Shawn Sides, Kelsey Oliver, Anna Skidis Vargas and Madge Darlington.
