By Lorca
Blood Wedding takes place in a world that is a fairytale at a glance, but filled with the burdens of death and destruction in reality. The characters of the play seem hopeful towards their individual situations, however, as the play progresses, it is clear they have no real control: they are puppets of their own passions. It is for this reason that I chose to draw influences from puppets, specifically shadow puppetry. This inspiration together with traditional Spanish Flamenco elements stemming from the culture behind the script lead to these designs for Lorca's Blood Wedding.
