Ainadamar 2005
A look at the meteoric life and death of Federico García Lorca…
…through a flamenco-tinged score hailed as “sensationally beautiful throughout” by The New Yorker.
Synopsis
Prologue
Emerging from darkness, the mythic world of Federico García Lorca comes into being. The sound of horses on the wind, the endless flow of the fountain of tears (“Ainadamar“), and the trumpet call of wounded freedom, the aspiration and determination that have been denied generation after generation echo across the hills.
