The topic of my thesis is a play Mariana Pined, written by F.G. Lorca, the most signif-icant Spanish dramatist and poet of the 20th century. My thesis is divided into two main parts. The first theoretically historic part briefly introduces author's live and surroundings that strongly influenced his work and his motivation for writing dramas. This part also shortly summarises the historical and political background in context with its direct influence on his work. In addition, I would like to outline the situation, which became the foundation for story development of the main character, historical figure Mariana Pined and her faith, not dissimilar to the faith of the author. The second part of my thesis focuses on the revelation and description of the psy-chological profile of the individual characters with regards to their meaning in the plot, their motivation and analysis of names and presented symbols. I briefly sketch the plot of the drama and breakdown some situations and their consequences. Subsequently I come to my own concept of colours, shapes, costume designs and the atmosphere. Eventually I attach varieties of visual propositions of the costume solution, its development with respect to the storyline, its transformation and I would like to bring attention to the importance and necessity of costumes in the overall viewer's experience.

La presente investigación pretende introducirse en parte de la poesía de Federico García Lorca para conocer un aspecto no dilucidado de la obra del poeta andaluz a través del término putrefacto. Se dará cuenta de la influencia y del impacto que el término produjo reflexionando, al mismo tiempo, acerca de este concepto relacionado con la literatura.

The thesis it´s about theatre play Blood Wedding written by spanish author F. G. Lorca. In first theoretical part I briefly concentrate on author, his life and his life´s work. Than I analyze drama Blood Wedding with focus of symbols and metaphors, which are dominated in the play of Lorca. At the end of theoretical part I choose three performances of Blood Wedding from three different directors. I describe them and complete them with fotos from performances. In a practical part of my thesis I analyze all dramatical characters and give description and explication of their costumes, which I use.

The traditional cante jondo is a song unique to Andalusia as it developed from the "mosaic" of cultures that have inhabited its borders, including Arabs, Jews and Gypsies. The genre expresses the history of the region, reveals the typography of the landscape and cries the tears of its people. "Deep song," the translation for cante jondo, is the forerunner of the flamenco, but it is a communication of a dark soul rather than an exuberant entertainment. The original folk idiom is a medium less concerned with beauty than the cathartic release of pain of every day life. It expresses the soul of Andalusia. This study explores the history and the poetic and musical forms Andalusian cante jondo as the inspiration for the poetry of Federico Garcia Lorca set by Elisenda Fabregas in the song cycle, Five Poems of Garcia Lorca (1992). Lorca felt the validity of "deep song" and he was disturbed that it was being corrupted by commercialism and was afraid it would be lost to posterity. His goal was to preserve the essence of the song and lift it to an artistic plain. He saw folk music as the core of the national musical and literary identity in Germany, France and Russia and worked to establish Spain as an artistic equal. Lorca's writings were not imitations of the traditional cante jondo. They echoed the history, the landscape and the tears, but they did so through symbolism and vivid imagery. The poet communicated on several levels, one as a voice of Andalusia, Spain and ultimately mankind and another with his own private message. His life was short, but his legacy is long. Fabregas, like Lorca, has taken a folk medium and expanded it beyond its original boundaries. Being of Spanish heritage, but not Andalusian, she is less committed to the local musical constraints. She felt the humanity in Lorca's poetic cries and expressed them through her own language. As a result her songs are intensely dramatic and are exciting pieces to perform.
