Lorca in a Green Dress explores the life and death of Federico García Lorca. Through five actors embodying different facets of the poet’s identity, the play unfolds in a surreal, poetic landscape that contemplates creation, love, and mortality.
Media in the production serve three primary roles. First, they represent the flamenco dancer — a haunting, poetic figure who exists both within and beyond the world of the play. Second, they act as transitional bridges, evoking memories from Lorca’s life and transporting the audience from the confined “Lorca room” into moments from his past. Third, they heighten emotional and poetic scenes, such as when the Chorus or the Blood sing or recite Lorca’s poetry.
The visual aesthetic draws inspiration from Lorca’s own drawings, transforming his delicate line work into living animation that mirrors the fluidity of memory and imagination. The flamenco dancer is rendered through animated lines, allowing her to move seamlessly among the live performers — her entrances and exits dissolving naturally into the visual rhythm of the play.
Projections also bridge moments and memories, inspired by the real places Lorca once lived. Waves and sea light recall his time with Dalí and Ana María, while trees and windows evoke the spirit of Granada. Blending surrealism and intimacy, the design invites the audience into Lorca’s inner world, building emotional resonance and deepening empathy for the man behind the legend.
