SELF-HOSTED Los Javis’ ambitious and captivating homage to Federico García Lorca is the story of three men whose lives are intimately connected through desire, pain and inheritance across different eras – 1932, 1937, and 2017. Spain, 1932. A young man awaits to see if he has secured membership of the local casino. In 1937, a young nationalist soldier guards a republican prisoner. Jump to 2017 and an unexpected document is inherited by a historian from his grandfather. Rich with Lorca’s poetry and suffused with desire, grief and hope, it is an intimate love story and a sweeping exploration of memory, inheritance and queer history, honouring those whose lives and loves were too often forced into silence.
