Burgos, Jerez de la Frontera, Granada, Jaen, Madrid, Talaveira de la Reina, Vigo and Canarie.<\/strong> These are the cities from one end of Spain to the other, where the show of the Gen Verde<\/strong><\/a> was held. It is a new spectacle, centred on the figure of Mary. from whom the show takes its title. \u201cIn the very first chords\u201d \u2013writes Javier Rubio in Ciudad Nueva, the Spanish magazine, \u201cThe thread is announced that weaves a sequence of songs inspired by her. But rather than an expression of devotion, the spectator perceives a continuous passage between the figure of Mary and the experience of each person, in such a way that the story of the Mother of Jesus touches each one, and the episodes of her life throw light on the vicissitudes of the present time.\u201d<\/em> \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

After a poetic opening that defines Mary as the star that steers the darkness, the various stages of her life follow, and the Mother is presented with notes and feelings from diverse cultures. Brazilian, Korean, African and Celtic rhythms compose a unique invocation, as though to underscore that fraternity is the link that unites persons.<\/p>\n

At the end, the director of the Spanish magazine notes,\u00a0 \u201cit is surprising that there is an intense link between the experience of some of today\u2019s mothers, and the moment lived by Mary at the foot of the cross, where she was able to overcome the most acute and absurd suffering. The last word is the Resurrection of the Son that transforms Mary for ever into Mother of all.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"A surprising aspect is the work carried out by the Gen Verde beyond the show. These are a series of workshops, according to the various artistic forms, that already demonstrate the image a united world, besides the integration of various cultures that the group demonstrates by its being international. During their stay in each city, the group offers a panorama of multidisciplinary activities: liturgical singing, dialogue with students, or in prisons, and meetings to examine in depth universal values. The objective is to propose, through music and art, fraternity as a model of living together. And even in Spain, the echoes from thousands of persons who attended the shows and hundreds of students in the workshops, demonstrate that this objective is near.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
