HIGHLIGHT: FRÖKEN ROSITA
Federico Garcia Lorca was a Spanish poet and playwright, whose work and connection to new European artistic movements such as surrealism and futurism made him one of Spain’s most celebrated poets before his assassination by fascist forces at the start of the Spanish Civil War. In his play Doña Rosita la soltera (adapted to Swedish as Fröken Rosita), we encounter a young woman in 1930s Granada whose engagement offers her a way out of the tedium of her daily life. However, as per usual in plays like this, things don’t really go to plan. Fröken Rosita is a depiction of how the patriarchal structure of society leads to, as Garcia Lorca termed it, “the grotesque treatment of women”. Thommy Berggren directs Stadsteaterns adaption of this early twentieth century classic.
