Larazon.es: "Who will do it?"

"On Wednesday, the play «Speak Truth To Power: Voces desde la Oscuridad», by Ariel Dorfman, premiered in Madrid, directed and adapted with great success by Jon Viar, director of the essential documentary «Traidores» (Traitors), which is based on his own experience as the son of a man linked to ETA who, after serving an 8-year sentence (until the 1977 Amnesty Law), gave up nationalism and his sympathy for the terrorist group. Thanks to CIS University and its president, María Díaz de la Cebosa, for this initiative of the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Foundation and for placing us in a situation as uncomfortable as it is necessary"...

"In Voces desde la oscuridad, the testimonies of human rights defenders — performed by nine students from the American University CIS of Madrid — are interwoven with the mockery of their oppressors, who repeat over and over that "nothing is ever going to change." A constant struggle for human rights." "Who cares about human rights? Supposedly, everyone. In reality, very few. That is the reflection left hanging in the air by the performance of Voces desde la oscuridad, the first act of the Robert F. Kennedy Foundation in Spain."

"Meeting between Irene Villa and the son of the repentant terrorist: what ETA has brought together..." "Irene and Jon have just met thanks to the Robert F. Kennedy Foundation, which this Wednesday makes its Spanish debut with the performance of the play Voces desde la oscuridad. This dramatization, based on the more than 70 interviews carried out by Kennedy's own daughter, Kerry, gathers the testimonies of figures who have upheld human rights over recent decades. From Malala to Rigoberta Menchú, from the Dalai Lama to Desmond Tutu. For the Spanish version, to be performed this Wednesday at Madrid's Teatro Beatriz, the foundation has incorporated the stories of Padre Ángel, Irene Villa, and Jon Viar". https://www.elmundo.es/madrid/2021/09/27/614e0989fdddff943e8b4632.html Elsiglodeuropa.es:
