"ALLEZ, ALLEZ..! ", is the fruit of the research work that arises from the songs that the brothers Luisa and Cuco Pérez heard from their mother as children. Songs that were born in the French concentration camps (Argelès, Récébédou or Rivesaltes), where their grandparents and uncles were refugees from 1939 to 1942. The concert, with projections and objects that his mother kept (the suitcase, the blanket given to them by the humanitarian services when they crossed the border, the escudillas where they ate…), and which are part of the scenography, tells the history of the family during the civil war, the Retreat and the exile, interspersing the songs that his mother taught them with others, unpublished, that they have personally collected from the almost centenarian survivors of those camps, and that established their residence in the South of France. With all that material they have edited the book-disc "ALLEZ, ALLEZ…!" where they tell family history and explain their research work. "ALLEZ, ALLEZ…! ", are the words with which the French gendarmes urged the Spanish refugees in the concentration camps. Next planned actions: Universidad de la Rioja (26 June), Valey Centro Cultural de Castrillón, Asturias (22 August), Instituto Cervantes de Madrid (17 October), Universidad de Salamanca (18 October), and Teatro Olympe de Gouges de Montauban, France (8 November).
