Mosada

Set in Granada, Mosada is a haunting dramatic poem of love, faith, and forbidden magic under the shadow of the Inquisition. At its center is Mosada, a Moorish woman whose lyrical longing for her fated beloved draws her toward enchantment and peril, while the lame boy Cola, devoted yet terrified, tries to keep her from summoning visions that the Church condemns as sin. When inquisitors storm her room and drag her away, Cola's fear turns to betrayal, deepening the poem's sense of spiritual and human tragedy. The tension widens in the chambers of the Inquisition, where monks and judges debate her fate with cruelty, indifference, and flashes of unease. Ebremar, a stern religious authority, demands her death, even as hints of pity expose cracks in the institution's certainty. In the final descent to the dungeon on the eve of the auto-da-fé, Mosada's thoughts drift toward nature and family, sharpening the poem's themes of innocence, exile, and sacrifice.
