Step into a world of dark desire and passion as Tinderbox reimagines Lorca's powerful tragedy, "Yerma," a radical re-telling of maternal love, passion and obsession set in a parochial village town on the border.
In the shadowy depths of the Cooley Mountains, a seemingly joyous family christening hides a seething undercurrent of tension and heartache. As Yerma and her husband grapple with their fractured relationship, her desperate longing for a child threatens to unravel the festivities of the christening party with devastating consequences. Will she succumb to despair, or will she find the strength to defy the suffocating expectations of the town?
Don’t miss this captivating exploration of love, loss, and the haunting echoes of unfulfilled desire. This is more than a play; Its a feverish smash-up of Emmerdale meets Midsommar.
You won’t want to miss.
This production of Yerma is part of The Belfast International Arts Festival.
