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.
