Studio 58, Langara College’s professional theatre training program, brings passion, longing, and flamenco dance to the stage with Federico García Lorca’s Blood Wedding from November 23 to December 3, with showtimes at 3 pm and 7:30 pm.

Set in rural Spain, Lorca’s 1933 play crafts a tragedy of love, repression, and duty. A bride is torn between her fiancé and her former lover, and must balance feuds between the families. Blood Wedding is a deeply poetic production that explores the isolation of loyalty versus personal freedom.

Lorca, a playwright recognized for his surreal works, was assassinated in 1936 during the Spanish Civil War, likely due to his identity as a socialist and gay man.

Directed by Carmen Aguirre, the production features choreography by Oscar Nieto, set and prop design by David Roberts, costume design by Amy McDougall, and lighting design by Itai Erdal.

Tickets and more details are available at Studio 58.
