Images from a famous 1972 Spanish production of Yerma, directed by Victor García, which toured to New York. The staging of this production impressed critics. Víctor García moved away from site-specific rural Spain and set the play in an unrealistic setting, as Clive Barnes explains: There is nothing realistic about this Yerma. It is acted on a trampoline – a fantastic setting. It gives every movement a sort of ritual tread, but even more, the setting can move up to provide a cave, machines can gently tug it into the simulacrum of a woman’s breast, or at another time it can be lifted high to form a wall against which Dantesque figures grope and struggle.
