JUNE - BODA DE SANGRE THEATRE TRIP

On Thursday the 5th of June, the Spanish Higher level IB and A-level students went down to the Oxford Playhouse to watch a performance of ‘Blood Wedding’ by Federico García Lorca. The tragedy, set in Andalusia in the 1930s, paid homage to Spanish culture and traditions and had a chilling storyline based on a real-life event. As the title suggests, it revolves around a wedding, where a heated love triangle leads to some deadly consequences. The story explores fate, love, and family pressures - making the play as relevant today as it was in the 1930s. The performance featured a live band on the stage, playing music Lorca wrote himself, including pieces like the "Ballade of Moon" and "Forest Scenes”. The traditional Spanish dancing and singing made the performance even more enjoyable to watch and a definite highlight of the term! BY ANA GALVANI-SILVA (N), LOWER SIXTH PHOTOGRAPHY BY MISS DIAZ
