The House of Bernarda Alba Northern Arizona University Produced site specifically at the La Posada Hotel in Winslow, Arizona Written by Federico Garcia Lorca Translated by Emily Mann Directed by Christina Gutierrez Stage Management by Willie Hines Scenography by Kate Ellis Dramatrugy by Gabby Higuera Photo Credits: Linda Conaway
This production was staged site-specifically at the La Posada hotel in Winslow, Arizona. Bernarda Alba calls for a Spanish manor house that is simultaneously grand and suffocating. The hotel and its carefully crafted origin story beautifully reflected the size and power of Bernarda Alba. Similarly, the production moved through multiple locations within the hotel, allowing the audience to share the characters’ feelings of being enclosed within the space.
