EL SUEÑO EXISTE -
Mae'r Freuddwyd yn Fyw; The
dream lives on
A Dream of a fairer society
We are a group of people
based around the town of Machynlleth situated in
the Dyfi Valley of Mid Wales.The roots of our
inspiration come from the life music and example
of Victor Jara. This visionary musician and
theatre director was part of the New Song
movement in Salvador Allende's Chile.
  
Our
aim is to celebrate and support the flowering of
popular democratic movements throughout the
world, currently illustrated by the success of
contemporary progressive movements across the
South American continent.
Inspired
by Salvador Allende's Popular Unity movement in
Chile in the 1970s, and in particular the Chilean
'New Song' movement, we aim to bring these ideas
forward into the present day.
   
We
organise events and festivals which provide a
meeting place for progressive political and
environmental groups to come together through
poetry, music, dance,theatre, and political
debate.
Following the success of a
3 day festivals dedicated to Victor Jara which
took place in Machynlleth in July 2005 and 2007,
we are continuing to develop opportunities and
ideas for cultural expression , social justice
and human rights.
You can explore information
on the 2005 and 2007 festivals, the life and
ideas of Victor Jara and the events we are
organising, including planning another festival
in 2009, by clicking on the links on the left.
