The surreal love tragedy Blood Wedding (1933) by the Spanish poet and playwright Federico García Lorca is reimagined in an intense and captivating full-length ballet by the young choreographic talent Eukene Sagues.
Blood Wedding narrates the story of a wedding that ends in a violent confrontation. The bride is set to be married in a grand ceremony, yet her former lover, Leonardo, lurks in the shadows. As the wedding festivities advance, the bride's longing for freedom intensifies. She elopes, with Leonardo in pursuit, and a mob of angry wedding guests begins the chase for the escapees. In the forest awaits the Moon; an ambiguous and teasing temptress, unwilling to let humans forget the passions they strive to control.
Love struggles within Lorca's works. As a homosexual, he strongly identified with his female characters. The women in Blood Wedding are trapped in their roles within a rigid, patriarchal society, forced to suppress their true selves.
Eukene Sagues, a soloist with the Royal Danish Ballet and offspring of Spanish theatre professionals, has been nurtured on Lorca's works from an early age. Blood Wedding marks her debut full-length ballet, offering a radical interpretation of her fellow countryman's famous play. Audiences will be treated to a performance rich in sensory experiences, encapsulating the dual nature of human life's beauty and brutality.
