Rastres_Argelers, by Aina Huguet
Thursday, February 20, 2020
At 8:30 pm in the Society Room "La Unión Jonquerenc"
Theater play produced by the Teatro Maldà.
Rastres_Argelers is a journey in memory. The memory of the Civil War refugees that the French concentration camps were closed on the way to exile, some camps where an extreme barbarism reigned, of which the French State and the Francoist government were absolute accomplices. Today, Argelès beach is a tourist mecca in southern France. In summer, there is not a foot of sand that is not occupied by towels and sunbathers. Almost eighty years ago - only eighty years! - the refugees urinated, defecated, gave birth and died in the same sand. Even today, neither the French nor the Spanish government have not officially recognized these victims. This project is based on the testimony of many people who passed through the concentration camps of Roussillon. And it is the voice of these witnesses that you, the public, will see on stage.
