The stage presentation “Cry by saying my name” filled the Alicante Water Museum to capacity this Sunday, delivering a performance built upon a vivid scenic concept. It drew on the intimate pieces Poet in New York and Dark Love Sonnets, weaving them into Federico García Lorca’s enduring literary vision.
The production follows the Granada-born poet through a narrative where two women, scarred by uprooting, discover that love and freedom nonetheless endure. Music, sound, and emotion become a living dialogue, enhanced by live compositions from Begona Abellán and Esther Abellán, along with contributions from Nello Chiuminatto and the ancestral voices of rarely heard instruments from five continents. The result is a fused experience where verse, melody, and memory meet on stage.
The organization’s communications and corporate affairs team notes that from this point forward the Alicante Water Museum will allocate a dedicated space to honor Lorca’s legacy. The 125th anniversary of Federico García Lorca’s birth is celebrated as part of the cultural programming, presenting the author’s original texts in a deeply personal portrayal of dehumanization within a society shaped by existential emptiness. The staging invites audiences to reflect on identity, resilience, and the human longing for connection, even when circumstances push people toward isolation.
