It's the evil twin of rehabilitation - act sick-get sick - and it happens a lot.

...ensures that the sound effects are well-timed and that the music covers a range of genres. One of the best parts of the show is the dance that spontaneously breaks out when changing scenes; the characters’ provocative style and intensity really captures their inner passions.Although some minor elements are mislaid, “Bernarda Alba” succeeds on a very personal level. It captures the feeling of a dysfunctional family at home, with all its accompanying tensions, while also anchoring the characters in broader issues of gender and society.
