\"\"Thousands of young people from all over the world in Madrid for the 11th WYD<\/a><\/span>. <\/strong>The events will take place this summer on the streets, auditoriums, public squares, colleges, schools, and parks of Madrid. There will be concerts and exhibits, museum tours, theatrical performances, and a cultural program entitled: \u201cYouth Festival<\/strong><\/a>\u201d. Among all the events, there is one that is particularly special \u2013 as shown by the great interest of the organizing committee. This is the presentation of Chiara Badano<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, a young Italian girl, better known as Chiara Luce, who was recently beatified. She will be presented during a show that will weave together music, theatre, acting, and dance. It will be held on 17 August at 22:00 in the Pilar Garc\u00eda Pe\u00f1a Auditorium, located in the Pinar del rey Park. Three-thousand persons will be able to attend this event which promises to be unforgettable. \"\"This presentation would like to manifest that \u201cLove\u201d with a capital \u201cL\u201d that gives happiness, as shown in the life of Chiara Luce who Benedict XVI called a \u201cray of Light\u201d at the Angelus of 26 September 2010<\/span>, the day before her beatification. It will be a feast for young people, \u201cwho can find in her an example of Christian living,\u201d as the Pope said. Pablo Alcolea, a music professor who is actively involved in the preparation of the event, tells us that it has been an experience of God for him: \u201cIt involves a lot of work, matching the tasks to the volunteers, but it\u2019s a beautiful opportunity to let ourselves be taken by the hand of the Father and trust in Him.\u201d Another Spanish youth, Pablo Garrido, who is co-responsible for the music assures us: \u201cThe first word that came to my mind was \u201cfolly\u201d. In my opinion attempting to prepare something of this caliber falls into the realm of the miraculous, but it\u2019s very gratifying, seeing how everyone immediately got to work in building this experience of unity.\u201d Another member of the music group shares with us how this is something very personal for him, \u201cas if Chiara Luce herself had asked me to participate in this with my own two cents, helping to communicate her lifestyle, her ideal of living for unity even beyond time and space.\u201d \u201cWhat a fantastic opportunity,\u201d continues Pablo Alcolea, to contemplate through music the life experience of Chiara Luce Badano.\u201d Other events which everyone is looking to are the Gen Rosso<\/a><\/span> <\/strong>concerts, an international musical group of the Focolare Movement whose performance “Indelible Dimension<\/strong>” will be held on the 16th and 18th August.
