Based on a true story, the play explores the fight to preserve the work of Federico Garcia Lorca during the Spanish Civil War
Rafael, a revolutionary, and Sebastian, a soldier who barely knows his prisoner, are forced to share the final hours of Rafael’s life. The tension intensifies with the countdown until dawn, when Rafael can be executed.
At the heart of the play is Rafael’s desperate mission: to save the last work of the celebrated Spanish writer Federico Garcia Lorca, whose words are brought to life by Carmo Dalla Vecchia, in voiceover.
As the plot unfolds, Rafael tries to convince Sebastian to preserve this priceless work, a task that becomes an emotional and ideological battle between the two men. The dialogue between them reveals the humanity, fear and hope that survive even in the darkest times.
“The Dark Stone” is more than a play about war; is a reflection on the fight for memory, art and love in times of oppression. The play offers audiences an opportunity to relive a true story that celebrates resistance and courage in the face of tyranny.
“The Dark Stone”: June 27th to July 14th (Thursday to Sunday), 8pm
Domingos Oliveira Theatre: Av. Padre Leonel Franca, 240.
Duration: 120 minutes
