Abstract

The text reveals that Federico García Lorca, delving into folklore, wrote the trilogy of rural tragedies: Blood Wedding, The House of Bernarda Alba, and Yerma. The 1981 film adaptation, directed by Carlos Saura and choreographed by Antonio Gades, adds a transmedial dimension by integrating theatrical elements and flamenco dance. The analysis highlights the use of empty space, the knife as a symbolic and recurring theme, and the relationship between the text and the film. Artistic innovations, such as the bride's white dress and the group photo of the wedding guests, stand out. The film brings to the forefront universal themes of love and couple drama, comparable to other literary works. The meeting between Lorca's play and the film represents a significant transmedial adaptation in Spanish culture, showcasing cultural diversity through flamenco dance and the artistic innovations of the director and choreographer
