Yerma
By Federico Garcia Lorca
Directed by Melanie Dreyer
January 29–February 22, 2009
Location to be announced
Yerma is a deeply musical folktale, blending song and poetic text into a modern story of unbridled yearning for fulfillment in a world of predetermined roles. We feel the rhythm of the feet of many generations in this story about the power of a woman in a rural community, wielding the forces of the earth against a man-made fate. Quantum unites this 20th century classic with the irrepressible art of flamenco from playwright Federico Garcia Lorca's native Andalusia. Carolina Loyola-Garcia, whose flamenco art enlivened Quantum's Red Shoes in 2007, collaborates with singers and dancers from Spain to bring us a story of an unrelenting passion for change and the tragedy of coming undone.
