Federico García Lorca (Granada, 1898-1936) Poet, playwright, musician and artist, Federico García Lorca was one of the most original and influential voices in twentieth-century literature. A close friend of Salvador Dalí and Luis Buñuel, and deeply engaged with the artistic avant-garde of his day, his work continues to inspire generations of writers and artists, from Pablo Neruda to Leonard Cohen and Patti Smith.

As a young man, Lorca moved between Granada and Madrid, where he became a central figure in the capital’s vibrant intellectual and artistic circles. The publication of Gypsy Ballads in 1928 brought him international recognition, drawing on Andalusian traditions, folklore and myth to forge a startlingly modern poetic language.

In 1929, Lorca travelled to New York, where encounters with racial injustice, capitalism and the city’s flourishing queer subcultures profoundly transformed his poetic imagination. Returning to Spain, he devoted himself increasingly to experimental and socially engaged theatre, challenging bourgeois conventions and exploring the tensions between desire, freedom and repression.
