Federico, My Love by Carla Solari

An actress invokes the presence of poet and playwright Federico García Lorca to journey through his life, his work, and his legacy.
 
In an imaginary dialogue with him, she brings to life the women of his plays and, in embodying them, gradually reveals her own story.
 
The protagonist moves between admiration and the need to define herself in the face of an impossible and symbolic love: the love for Federico as love for poetry, for one’s own voice, and for freedom.
 
The play intertwines Lorca’s artistic universe with his personal story: his love for women, his silenced homosexuality, and his assassination by the fascist Franco regime.
 
Federico, My Love is both a personal tribute to an artist who transformed theatre and defied the norms of his time, and the journey of a contemporary woman who, in finding him, ultimately finds herself.
