Lorca

Lorca refers to Federico García Lorca, a prominent Spanish poet, playwright, and theatre director of the 20th century, born in 1898 and executed in 1936 during the early days of the Spanish Civil War. Known for his contributions to literature, Lorca’s works often explore themes of love, tragedy, and the complexities of Spanish culture. His notable pieces include poems from “Romancero Gitano” (Gypsy Ballads), “Poeta en Nueva York” (Poet in New York), and plays like “Bodas de Sangre” (Blood Wedding) and “La Casa de Bernarda Alba” (The House of Bernarda Alba), which reflect his avant-garde style and deep emotional resonance. Lorca’s influence extends beyond literature into music and visual arts, making him an iconic figure in both Spanish cultural history and the broader landscape of modern literature.
