"Enelamir", an imaginary approach to the Moslem culture

The gardens of the Casa Museu Llorenç Villalonga will hold next Friday, July 14, at 10 p.m. the production "Enelamir" by the theatrical group, Es Garrover.

The theatrical work shop of the Es Garrover association was formed in 1997 as a normalising cultural activity for people who have psychotic manifestations. Since then they have produced three theatrical shows, that have been represented in different parts of Mallorca and in Barcelona, Malaga and Granada. They have created a new language, a new culture in respect to mental health, demonstrating that the sick people who have the adequate support, can be active agents in society, producers of cultural and economic wealth.

"Enelamir", the group's third production, is an imaginary approach to the Moslem culture of the oriental islands of Al-Andalus, from the XI to the XIII centuries, that is the historical eras of the kingdoms of Taifa to the conquest by Jaume I. It intends to be a tribute to a splendid lyric, recovering a part of the forgotten, and often misconstrued, Mediterranean history. To present the show, the group comments: "We, who know so much about compulsory silence, discrimination and fear of those who see their personal rights violated, wish to establish a bridge of solidarity and recognition towards the immigrant who suffers a similar situation to the one we have suffered for other reasons."
