La Barraca

La Barraca was a renowned Spanish theater group founded in 1932 by playwright Federico García Lorca. Dedicated to bringing classical and traditional Spanish plays to rural and underserved communities, it aimed to make theater accessible outside urban centers. The group performed live, often outdoors, emphasizing simplicity, community engagement, and cultural education. La Barraca played a significant role in promoting Spanish literature and theater, fostering a deeper appreciation for national culture, and supporting regional traditions during a turbulent period in Spain’s history.
