Yerma is one of the main masterpieces by the playwright and poet Federico García Lorca. Centered on the figure of Yerma herself, a rural woman guided at all times by her maternal instincts, this tragedy evokes the frustration and deep pain of people when they do not fulfill their greatest desire, the one for which they believe they are in this life. This young peasant woman bets all her non-existent happiness on one card: becoming a mother. With a beginning full of strength and hope, Yerma overcomes problems until circumstances, little by little, end up plunging her into absolute despair. A theatrical piece full of symbolism that will captivate the reader with its harshness and torn truth. A text to learn that joy should not be imposed by social doctrines. A song to the revolution against the cultural machismo imposed for centuries. In short, a story that will touch the heart of anyone sensitive to human emotions.
Federico del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús García Lorca was a Spanish poet, playwright, and theatre director. García Lorca achieved international recognition as an emblematic member of the Generation of '27, a group consisting mostly of poets who introduced the tenets of European movements into Spanish literature.
