Here No One Stays Behind – Storytelling at the English Cemetery

Details

HERE, NO ONE STAYS BEHIND Paco del Pino brings us stories about people who die, and in his own words, he sums it up like this: “In my village, when it was announced that someone was taking the Silver Way, that is, they were dying, people would always say: ‘Farewell, my brother, I’ll be right behind you.’ Well, not everyone. My father would go with the classic, ‘Nobody dies the day before,’ which was followed by a silence and then he would click his tongue and add, ‘Except my cousin Justa, who died, just, the day before Saint Michael’s Day.’ Because the thing is, here no one stays behind, and some go ahead and others come later, we all die at least once… … and we don’t live to tell the tale. Or do we…?” And here at Axis Mundi’s Oral Storytelling Series we want to bring you this humorous session full of stories about people who die, in the English Cemetery. We’ll be waiting for you!
