Un día habrá una isla. Pedro García Cabrera

Migrations, humanitarian crises, social exclusion in different parts of the world, the fight against homophobia and racism are at the centre of the VI edition of the Encuentro de Cultura y Derechos Humanos festival, which will take place in May and June in Tenerife, La Palma, Gran Canaria and La Gomera. The Gomeran poet Pedro García Cabrera, one of the fundamental writers of the 20th century for Hispanic literature, is the protagonist of this work based on the personal vicissitudes of the writer, a socialist politician and repressive under Franco, whose escape to Africa, his stay in concentration camps during the Spanish Civil War and his subsequent imprisonment influenced his literary work and his defence of human rights and freedoms. One day will be an island is the homage of a team of performing arts professionals from the Canary Islands to one of the fundamental writers of Hispanic literature and the history of contemporary Canarian literature itself. This sixth edition of the festival will end on the island of La Gomera with the theatre performance ‘One day there will be an island. Pedro García Cabrera’ at the island's auditorium in San Sebastián de La Gomera at 20:00.
