This text is written from the interventions of the character of Poncia in the work of Federico García Lorca. In a deep analysis of the character, I have rescued Poncia's interventions and I have turned them into reflection, Soliloquios, dialogues with ghosts and shadows. In this way, a new look inside the house is shown. In the original work we attend a succession of facts that are developed in chronological order. Here, in this Poncia, no. She speaks after the shock produced by Adela's suicide. Everything happens after his death.
Poncia's language is unleashed in a place and in a prohibited time for words. Poncia adjusts accounts with the inhabitants who survive inside the house. We discovered the sympathy of Poncia for the youngest of the daughters, claim her. “A brave female has died,” he says, and blames herself of not having done more than she did.
Poncia has always suggested me like no other character of those who live in the house of Bernarda Alba. The characters of the maid enclose an interesting enigma: they are witnesses of the avatars of their owners and masters, they know the truth of the interior of the houses and have the hidden philosophy of the popular classes.
We listen to the maid's voice to illuminate the dark corners of Lorca's work. Poncia talks about suicide, freedom, guilt, class, education and sex. And he speaks it with all the strength of a voice that has been mistreated and quiet. The soul of “Poncia” opens to insist on the need to transfer to others the idea of loving us in freedom.
