"Yerma" es una de las obras más emblemáticas de Federico García Lorca, escrita en 1934. Esta tragedia rural refleja la angustia de una mujer que lucha contra la opresión social y la infertilidad en un contexto patriarcal y tradicionalista. A traves de un lenguaje poetico, lleno de simbolismo y metaforas, Lorca crea un ambiente opresivo que acentua la desesperacion de Yerma. La obra encapsula no solo la lucha femenina, sino tambien el conflicto entre los deseos personales y las expectativas sociales, situandola dentro del contexto de la Generacion del 27, donde se exploran temas como la identidad y el amor no correspondido. Federico Garcia Lorca, poeta y dramaturgo español, es conocido por su habilidad para entrelazar lo real y lo onirico. Su vida en Granada, asi como su activismo politico y su homosexualidad, influyeron en su perspectiva artistica y en las tematicas de sus escritos. "Yerma" nace de su deseo de retratar la condicion de las mujeres en la sociedad española de la epoca, reflejando su propia sensibilidad hacia las limitaciones impuestas por la cultura y la tradicion. Recomiendo encarecidamente "Yerma" a los lectores interesados en la literatura contemporanea que exploran la psicologia humana y las dinamicas sociales. Esta obra no solo es un retrato conmovedor de la lucha de una mujer por ser comprendida sino que tambien invita a reflexionar sobre el papel de la mujer en la sociedad, convirtiendola en una pieza fundamental del teatro español.

Una de las tragedias rurales de Lorca en forma de obra teatral, Yerma presenta a una mujer incapaz de concebir, y la pena, la frustración y el dolor que dicha imposibilidad le produce. En este texto, al igual que en el resto de su trilogia de tragedias rurales, Lorca mezcla poesia, un crudo realismo rural y una dimension mitologica de la realidad andaluza.

La vida corre por la sangre de Yerma. Está casada con un hombre honesto, bondadoso, trabajador, fiel. Sin embargo, ella vive un dilema freudiano, ¿existe el amor si ningún tipo de deseo sexual? ¿puede su buen marido hacerla feliz sin desearla?, puede, ¿darle una vida intensa y plena?Yerma vive con un nudo en la garganta. A la vez no puede articular del todo que quiere. Porque tras lo que manifiesta hay siempre en ella mas misterio.Necesita vida, pasion, ser mujer y una amargura perpetua la acecha. No saber que quiere es casi tan doloroso como la indiferencia sexual de su marido: ¿Quiere ser madre, quiere ser deseada, quiere ser plena? Nunca lo sabremos del todo y ese es uno de los encantos y misterios de esta obra.Yerma es un poema tragico en tres actos y seis cuadros, escrito entre 1933 y 1934, remite a una sociedad arcaica, instalada en un pequeño pueblo rural de Andalucia.Descrita por su autor como una obra sin argumento, Yerma se centra en el complejo conflicto interno de su protagonista. De hecho, se podria decir que el resto de los personajes estan alli para hacer evolucionar este conflicto, o para mostrarlo desde distintas perspectivas. En el centro de este dilema estan los deseos de ser madre de Yerma y la imposibilidad de tener hijos (al menos con su marido).El talento de Federico Garcia Lorca va incluso mas alla de este dilema. Cada vez que leemos Yerma se nos revela una arista mas profunda del afan de buscarnos a nosotros mismos y de nuestra insaciable incapacidad para encontrar alguna forma de epifania.Yerma, cuerpo de la tragedia que yo he vestido con ropajes modernos, es, sobre todas las cosas, la imagen de la fecundidad castigada a la esterilidad. Un alma en la que se cebo el destino señalandola para victima de lo infecundo. Yo he querido hacer, he hecho, a traves de la linea muerta de lo infecundo, el poema vivo de la fecundidad. Y es desde ahi, del contraste de lo esteril y lo vivificante, de donde extraigo el perfil tragico de la obra.
