The Jameos del Agua Auditorium will be the setting for the premiere of the documentary film "Life Was This" by journalist Concha de Ganzo. It will be next Friday, March 18, at 7:00 p.m. The event will feature performances by Tenerife singer Fabiola Socas, and the group El Faro, also from Tenerife, responsible for the film's soundtrack.
With a careful visual aesthetic and successful locations in La Geria, the Puente de las Bolas and the Naos salt flats, "Life Was This" immerses us in the universe of memory based on the experiences and memories of Cesáreo Viñoly, Nieves Betancort, Margarita Saavedra and Felisa Álvarez, four Lanzarote residents between 80 and 90 years old who take us to their childhood through their stories, turned into unexpected treasures of incalculable value, to discover the cultural and ethnographic heritage of the island. Their emotions, their looks, their gestures and their silences are an invitation to get to know a little better that part of history that time cracks and, sometimes, buries. "Life Was This" is a personal and retrospective work, a journey to a distant past that, however, still lives in each of us.
Invitations to attend the premiere of "Life Was This" can be picked up individually and free of charge at https://www.cactlanzarote.com/es/tipo_entrada/eventos/.
"Life Was This" is sponsored by the Data Center of the Cabildo de Lanzarote, through the Digital Memory of Lanzarote, and the City Council of Haría.
Concha de Ganzo has a degree in Information Sciences from the Complutense University of Madrid. For years, she was the visible face of TVE in Lanzarote.
