Sáhara, la barca del desierto
About this event
UnaHoraMenos presents Sáhara, la barca del desierto in El Sauzal. DATE: Saturday, April 25, 2026. TIME: 8:00 PM. PERFORMANCE: Sáhara, la barca del desierto. VENUE: Teatro El Sauzal. GENRE: Theater. COMPANY: UnaHoraMenos. DURATION: Approximately 85 minutes. TICKET PRICE: 12 € Regular and 9 € Special (for students, under 25 and over 65, and residents of the municipality of El Sauzal). SYNOPSIS: La Barca del Desierto tells the story of a Canary Island nurse who arrives in El Aaiún in 1970 intending to work temporarily at the local hospital. However, her life changes radically when she falls in love with Yahadih, a young Saharawi who joins the Polisario Front in the fight for the independence of Western Sahara. Her relationship with Yahadih, marked by secrecy and war, makes her a witness to Spain's withdrawal, the Moroccan occupation, and the repression suffered by the Saharawi people. In 1991, in the refugee camps, she is visited by Mercedes, a journalism student interested in documenting the conflict. Through their conversation, she revisits her journey through a territory marked by uncertainty, resistance, and loss. With a blend of love, betrayal, and resilience, La Barca del Desierto is a human testament to the personal transformation of a woman caught between two worlds and the struggle of a free people that refuses to disappear.

Semana Santa en La Laguna
The celebration of Semana Santa en La Laguna is one of the Archipelago's most traditional religious and cultural manifestations. Across several days, visitors have the opportunity to appreciate the rich and varied religious heritage the City possesses. During Semana Santa, processions formed by pasos of incalculable historical and artistic value take place, which together with the cofradías traverse the most emblematic streets in a display of authentic popular fervor. These pasos are examples of the imaginería and orfebrería that developed in the Islands and beyond over the last five centuries. Special significance attaches to the acts celebrated on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. On Maundy Thursday, it is worth noting the opening of the chapels of the temples in order to show the Eucharistic monuments, true jewels of island goldsmithing. Good Friday is notable for the Procesión Magna, which takes place at five in the afternoon, and comprises the set of pasos and cofradías that traverse the City starting from the Santa Iglesia Catedral. Likewise, at twenty-two hours the Procesión del Silencio is held, which brings together the penitential brotherhoods and cofradías accompanying the Dead Lord, also from the Santa Iglesia Catedral to the church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, amid the attendees' deep reverence.
- 17:00 Procesión Magna — route from the Santa Iglesia Catedral, with the pasos and cofradías that traverse the city from the Santa Iglesia Catedral.
- 22:00 Procesión del Silencio — from the Santa Iglesia Catedral to the church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, accompanying the Dead Lord, amid the attendees' deep reverence.
