Diciembre Dance Group was born in August 2008 as an attempt to join choreographers and dancers to make work related with social issues. Alba, the first project of the company, was marked with a "merit" in the MA Choreography at Middlesex University. Main Square was performed as part of Resolution! and had very good feedback from the audience members. |
The House of Bernarda Alba
Adela, the youngest daughter of Bernarda Alba, died a virgin.
The fact that she was having an affair with Pepe, who was supposed to marry her sister... didn't matter.
The fact that Martirio confessed to the family only out of jealousy, because she, also, was in love with him... didn't matter.
The fact that María Josefa, Bernarda's mother, was lucid enough to tell them how repressed they were... didn't matter.
And the fact that they lived in a world that, outside their house, was ruled by men... that... they couldn't change.
