LA REATA DE LOS DOCE CAMELLOS

Fri 25 Sept
Teatro Auditorio Agüimes, Agüimes

The Agüimes uprising of 1708 – Production: Teatro La República. A theatrical and musical work by Faneque Hernández (texts) and Mingo Quintana (music) that recalls and commemorates the Agüimes uprising of 1708. This episode tells how the villagers rose up against the bishop's attempt to requisition the grain stored in the communal granary, reserved for famine or plague emergencies, to make private deals by selling it at a high price in Tenerife, in complicity with Francisco Amoreto, the Lord of Vega Grande. The mutineers unite to prevent looting and drive the camel caravan and its mule drivers out of the Lordship. From here a judicial process begins to punish the rebellious neighbors who will dream the sleep of the righteous for lack of prosecuting witnesses. Ten years later, in 1718, similar events, this time for the defense of Sardina lands, will repeat with similar protagonists: on one side the people of Agüimes in coalition, on the other, the Lord of Vega Grande.
