Yerma and Andian

Yerma does it mean something? Does it create any effect? Any response?

It is supposed to be that humans can reproduce and the men who cant have or are supposed to be badly looked around the traditions in the world. Yerma is a play performed to express the feelings of the oppressed sterile women of the andian world. Why? Well it gives the context of a place were the main economical action comes from the agriculture and farming. It tells the story of a couple that cant procreate and have to live with the bad looks of the people in the town.
I think the idea of the effect it has on them is very well presented but the way in ehich they do it makes a very  lain and very slow play.
Still it had a great plot which not only developed well but was simple, concise and very easy to understand. In terms of acting the display they made was fantastic, they had good voice, response, i specially loved the technique of the conscience and the off voice that intensified the feelings and enhanced the tension in the atmosphere.
One thing i could relate to our play is that we used as well as them the idea of people representing more than one character and so it was easier for me to see this changes without loosing track of what happened.
The use of the space felt i bit much to me, the stage was big enough to use the audience corridor though it did help the dynamics but it was very difficult to see what was happening there.

We could also study a little bit more of the Andean theatre in our class lessons, we had the second test on the readings we made and we are starting to understand better how the celebration of the virgin works, not only the conventions but the concepts and what you can find inside such as the cultural background that come back with the "Taki" and the idea of uncovering their own celebration with that of the virgin.
The origins of the virgin and what the myths say about how did she appeared in the town of paucartambo.
It was impressive to know about the logistics and the preparations that people have to do to create this from practically scratch.
It is an awesome celebration and what i enjoy the most is the way in which the people involve in the performance. It is like they do it mechanically but with such energy and such convictions that it seems like it was more than 200 years ago when it was created.

"A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its   people."

This resumes it all. Just think about it.
