ADHERE + DENY | BLOOD WEDDING

Blood
Wedding, a classic play of the twentieth century by the Spanish poet Frederico
Garcia Lorca, is filled with rich poetic language. Emotions bleed, and
passions are open wounds. The characters are caught in an in-between world
of love governed by raw naked death. They are prisoners of their natural
passions played out on a long black coffee table, on which the actors,
elegantly dressed in black and sitting in Zazen position slide the beautifully
painted oblong wooden figures, switching between characters as each puppet
is passed from hand to hand.
"Having both puppets and visible actors performing among themselves
doubles the tension and foreboding which envelopes the admirable production."
-Kevin
Prokosh, Winnipeg Free Press, September 25, 1999.
"Because
of the necessarily small audience numbers, only a handful of people in
Winnipeg will be able to see Blood Wedding. I count myself among the lucky."
-Elyssa
Warkentin. The Manitoban, September 30, 1999.
