To family and friends he presented shows of sparkling ingenuity.įrom 1921 up to his shameful assassination by a fascist militia in 1936, he wrote several versions of his best-loved plays, such as the Tragicomedia de don Cristóbal y la señá Rosita (The Tragicomedy of Don Cristóbal and the Señorita Rosita), the final title of a play which for a long time he called Los Títeres de Cachiporra (The Billy-Club Puppets). He built his own small theatres at a very young age and made the puppets with help from his mother and nurse.
From childhood he was attracted by puppets, shown from time to time by travelling artists passing through his native village. In spite of the general opinion which considers his pieces for puppets as only a minor component, close study reveals that puppetry was a strong backbone of nearly all his theatre work. Federico García Lorca is, after Cervantes, the best known of all Spanish writers.
