In 1939, the Winnipeg brought more than two thousand Spanish refugees to Chile. This work tells that journey through the eyes of four children. An innocent look at a key moment in history, based on research and interviews. Under the co-direction of Edurne Rankin García and Álvaro Morales Lifschitz.
L@s Niñ@s del Winnipeg is a show where the text as well as the entire work have been specially created to pay tribute to all those girls and boys who traveled aboard the Winnipeg and to Pablo Neruda who made this feat possible, saving more than two thousand five hundred survivors of the Spanish Civil War in 1938.
The actress will immerse us in this story through the eyes of four children who travel on the ship of hope. Mario tells us about his sorrows, Angelines strives to understand, Montse asks the stars to be with her father again and Juan is afraid to ride a boat. Four children, four portraits tell us innocently about a crucial episode that intertwines Chilean and Spanish history; which begins sadly and luckily ends with a great lesson of solidarity towards those most in need.
This work has been created from historical research and conversations with survivors of Winnipeg. The work is presented from the experience and point of view of the girls and boys and their particular way of seeing and living the hard events they had to go through; war, flight, exile.
