THE HOUSE OF BERNARDA ALBA

by Federico García Lorca
adaptation by Chay Yew
directed by Michael Socrates Moran

Following the death of her second husband, Bernarda Alba imposes an eight-year mourning period on her household—and all five of her daughters.

Under the matriarch’s iron grip, freedom is a hunger: a pulse beneath floorboards, a body straining against lace and grief.

Featuring OTP Co-Artistic Director Lisa Ramirez in the title role, Chay Yew’s new adaptation of Federico García Lorca’s tragedy merges dance and drama to make visible what repression tries to crush: desire, rebellion, and the human right to self-determination. In a house sealed against the world, freedom claws at the walls — until something breaks.
