Dom Bernarde Albe 1

STERIJINO POZORJE FESTIVAL 2010 - Novi Sad, Serbia -
Slovenian National Theatre Celje, Slovenia -
THE HOUSE OF BERNARDA ALBA / HIŠA BERNARDE ALBA
text by Federico Garcia Lorca
directed by Diego de Brea

Powerful and suggestive, almost entirely ascetic, the young director Diego de Brea, with the brilliant ensemble of Slovenian National Theatre in Celje, has succeeded in bringing in front of the audience a well known Lorca tragedy in a completely new and exciting manner, filled with dramatic tension and emotions. Even though the text is radically omitted (the play is almost unverbal!), the director and the ensemble have managed to show the full tragedy of women from the house of Bernarda Alba in an unusual manner, and a play full of passion that always stays accurately focused and almost choreographically precise, and thus it penetrates deeper into the consciousness of the audience than it would in a textual interpretation.
