The House of Bernarda Alba_rehearsals




We are rehearsing Federico Garcia Lorca's last play - "The House of Bernerda Alba". Lorca completed this play just three months before his murder by anti-Republican forces. This is a story of frustrated desires, played out in the oppressive heat of Andalusia and inside the claustrophobic confinements of closed walls within the boundaries of a suffocating society, a story of suppressed passions and madness and jealousy and deceit, with the inevitable eruption of chaos and the inescapable end in death .............

We’ve always chosen plays that are beyond our means. If we want to define the character of our group, that single sentence should do it. We have remained around for over 30 years now, in Kolkata, the cultural capital of India, and we have survived despite our dogmatic stand. We are part of Theatron. We are part of a group that has never gone for numbers, that has always measured success by the aesthetic standards it has been able to set, and the extent to which it has been able to enthral and captivate and touch the people. The group was formed in April, 1974.
