6 p.m.
Performance JOAQUIN ABRIL CASTILLO a été ici (peut-ÊTRE) by Óscar Abril from the works of Josep Bartolí present in the exhibition Art and exile. Artists of the Catalan exile of 1939. This is a tribute to his grandfather, Joaquin Abril Castillo (Binéfar, Huesca, 1907 - Gusen, Austria, 1942), who suffered exile and was deported to the Nazi concentration camp of Mauthausen (KLM 4095 ) and Gusen (KLG 9817). The performance will consist of crossing the French border, as many exiles did, leaving the Empordà Museum in Figueres and passing by the MUME in La Jonquera.
