DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nFrom July 18 through August 2, 2008, Intersection for the Arts will 
 host the Lorca Summer Festival, consisting of Federico Garcia Lorca's 
 "rural trilogy" of plays, Blood Wedding, Yerma, and House of Bernarda Alba, 
 which Pangs Theater Ensemble will perform in a series. The plays will be 
 directed by Wolfgang Thompson, Pangs Theater Ensemble's Artistic Director, 
 recognized for his modern multi-disciplinary pieces and his physical style 
 of direction.\n\n\n\nFederico Garcia Lorca, friend and contemporary of 
 Pablo Neruda and Salvador Dali, and one of Spain's most treasured poets and 
 playwrights, is remembered as a martyr due to his premature death involving 
 his capture and murder by fascists at age 38 due to what many believe were 
 his leftist leanings, his work's criticism of conservative social 
 structures, and his homosexuality. While his death is shrouded in mystery, 
 some believe that he was tortured and suffered a gruesome death due to his 
 homosexuality, his body then thrown into a mass grave and his work banned 
 in Spain by General Francisco Franco's regime until the 1950's when 
 censored versions of his work were released.\n\n\nBlood Wedding is a story 
 of love turned tragic because of traditional, oppressive social structures 
 and family rivalry. Blood Wedding will be performed on July 18 and 
 26.\n\n\nYerma tells the tale of a virtuous woman oppressed by traditional 
 society. It explores the subjects of marriage, childbearing, and suffering 
 under an orthodox social system.  Yerma will be performed on July 19 and 
 August 1.\n\n\nThe House of Bernarda Alba is a play about brutal 
 repression, sexual jealousy, maternal control and finally death, in which a 
 tyrant widow locks her daughters away from the outside world.  House of 
 Bernarda Alba will be performed on July 25 and August 2.\n\n\nPangs Theater 
 Ensemble is a performance company founded in San Francisco in 2004 
 producing modern multi-disciplinary work and classics. Its work is marked 
 by a physical style of performance and direction, as well as its 
 incorporation of historical and modern elements into its productions. Even 
 classics are presented applying a physical, multi-disciplinary approach, 
 including a strong focus on choreography, patterns of body movement, and 
 exploration of the physical space among the characters. Pangs Theater 
 Ensemble's physical approach is developed by its Artistic Director Wolfgang 
 Thompson. Pangs Theater Ensemble is a member of Theatre Bay Area and 
 B.A.P.S.T.\n\n\nThe Lorca Summer Festival is sponsored in part by funding 
 from San Francisco Grants for the Arts.\n\n\nWhat: \nLORCA SUMMER
