The project is based on the story of my grandfather’s little brother, Tomás Pons Albesa, who was shot at Camp de la Bota in Barcelona in 1941, at the age of 31.

Tonight, at JCTC In-Person! WHEN: April 22, 2022, at 8:00 PM / All Exhibitions open WHERE: Barrow Street Studios / 165 Newark Ave, Jersey City, NJ, entrance from Barrow St. Performed by Padraig Bond, Allison Cachay Narva, Alexander Decoteau-Fredericks, Annabella Pritchard, Sebastian Roa, and Chiquita Wilder Translated by Mary Ann Newman Foreword by Jordi Borràs Brigadistes: Lives for Liberty is a book of literary and photo- graphic portraits, 60 profiles accompanied by photographs that help us form a more precise sense of these characters. Written with impeccable style, these are true, poignant stories, as deeply powerful as the conviction that led their protagonists to take up their rifles in rocky trenches or drive ambulances as they dodged mortars in a country that was not their own. The brevity of the stories allows our imaginations to soar. For more info: www.jctcenter.org |
