In the athenaeum of Seville, the poets of the Generation of 27 read their poems to the general public.

He later returns to Spain where he obtains a huge success after the premiere of his plays Yerma and Bodas de sangre. He also performs the function of director of the University Theater group "La Barraca". The death of his friend, the bullfighter Ignacio Sánchez Mejías, produces a deep sorrow in him that will inspire one of his most emotional poems.

Una guerra civil (1935-1936)
After the victory of the Popular Front of left-wing parties in the elections of February 1936, the rumors about a possible military coup d'etat are more and more insistent. Federico García Lorca, who has just written his theatrical drama La casa de Bernarda Alba, moves to Granada to celebrate his name day with his family. The military uprising of July 18 will be the prelude to a bloody civil war.
Episode 6 • Dec 31, 1987
La muerte (1936)
In the city of Granada altercations and executions take place. Meanwhile, the García Lorca family continues to be frightened by the events. To prevent Federico from being arrested, they decide that he will spend a few days at the home of his friend Luis Rosales, since both Luis and his brothers are prominent Falangists. Even so, the poet, who is accused of allegedly collaborating with international communism, will be transferred to the police station.

Mary Mattingly's Waterfront Development: ART21 New York Close Up

What's the latest trend in New York City real estate? Over the course of the summer and fall of 2013, artist Mary Mattingly constructs and occupies 'Triple Island' (2013), an outdoor sculpture overlooking the East River. Situated in the newly developed Pier 42 public park - a waterfront area flooded by Hurricane Sandy in 2012 - the sculpture rests on buoyant 55 gallon drums, which allow it to float in the event of rising sea levels. Mattingly and friends build 'Triple Island' out of a mix of recycled, donated, and custom-made materials. The three main structures - a living space, greenhouse, and community garden - together form a system for living off the grid in the densely-populated Lower East Side.
