ETHAL to Stage Lorca's 'Blood Wedding' in the Cypriot Dialect

ETHAL is staging Federico Garcia Lorca's 'Blood Wedding' in the Cypriot dialect, as part of a trilogy exploring themes of language, community, and multiculturalism. The plot is set in Cyprus in the 1960s, where love and death coexist with political and social division. The adaptation aims to shed light on the identity of Cyprus and promote reconciliation between the two communities, using actors from both sides. The performance aims to be a bridge of communication and understanding, through the lyricism and power of Lorca's work.
