“Yerma, a body of tragedy that I have dressed in modern clothes, is above all the image of fertility, punished by sterility. A soul in which destiny was primed, to point her out as a victim of the infertile. I have wanted to make, I have made, through the dead line of the infertile, the living poem of fertility. And it is from there, from the contrast of the sterile and the vivifying, from which I extract the tragic profile of the work.” Federico García Lorca interview for Luz, Madrid, Spain.
