ABOUT | Impossible Theatre

Based in Melbourne, Impossible Theatre is currently developing a series of plays inspired by the work of Spanish playwright Federico Garcia Lorca.

We intend to stage a bilingual play focused on the experimental and surrealist characteristics of texts by Spanish playwright Federico Garcia Lorca, while grappling with the visual challenges presented by them and the physical work on stage. We would also like to include elements related to his biography highlighting certain moments in his life.

We visualise an eclectic play in terms of performing styles, aesthetic approach, language and topics – all these key elements meet a common purpose in Lorca's artistic proposal and experiences. The inclusion of Federico Garcia Lorca as one of the characters and the cultural-historic elements that inspired his work will help articulate the liaison between plays.

The use of Spanish is another multicultural element to be treated within the scenic language as well as the silent film influences and avant-garde movements in relation to the artistic design.

ABOUT | The Plays Of Federico Garcia Lorca
Spanish poet and dramatist Federico Garcia Lorca was a talented artist and a member of the 'Generation of 1927', a group of writers who advocated avant-gardism in literature. In 1929-30 García Lorca lived in the city of New York, on the campus of Columbia University. Unable to speak English he suffered a deep culture shock.

"Buster Keaton’s Stroll", "The Maiden, the Sailor and the Student" and "Chimera" are three of Lorca’s best-known "impossible plays" which first appeared in his avant-garde magazine ‘Gallo’.
