El Rubio de Arucas

The Salsipuedes Cultural Association brings history to life with the play "El Rubio de Arucas. The Silence of a Town", a theatrical production based on real events that left a deep mark on the recent history of the Canary Islands. Set in the old Apolo Tobacco Factory, a site rich in symbolism in Arucas, the play recounts the 1976 kidnapping of businessman Eufemiano Fuentes, a pivotal event during the island's democratic transition, whose memory still lingers within the community. Through this performance, the production seeks to rescue collective memory and give voice to a town that still echoes the cry: "El Rubio, El Rubio de Arucas!"
