#RAÍCESVIVAS

Raíces Vivas shows us in this video three intangible heritages where fire becomes the protagonist. In the Pyrenees, the fire of the fallas illuminates the shortest night of the year; in the furnaces of La Granja (Segovia), fire transforms matter giving life to glass; in Berga (Barcelona), 100 devils full of fire perform their infernal dance.
The first fire that humans lit in a cave is the same fire that now illuminates us. Its flames have warmed us, have fueled revolutions, devoured books and listened to a thousand stories told around it. Fire has always contained us in its memory.
