Story of Skate Hero. The Musical<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Pope Musical<\/a> was born in a group of young people of the Militia of Santa Maria, integrated in the educational project \"Come and see Education\" who have taken up his legacy and have staged the last twenty-four hours of Ignatius' life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skate Hero<\/em> has been created based on the book-testimony by Joaqu\u00edn Echeverr\u00eda \"As\u00ed era mi hijo Ignacio: el h\u00e9roe del monopat\u00edn\", and has been musically arranged by the pianist and composer Miguel \u00c1ngel G\u00f3mez Gonz\u00e1lez-Vall\u00e9s, and the scriptwriter and director of the program \"La aventura de educar\", Javier Segura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who was Ignacio Echevarr\u00eda<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Its own Javier Segura, Omnes contributor<\/a>describes the event and the figure that gave rise to this musical as follows Skate Hero<\/em>On June 3, 2017, the whole of Spain was shaken by the jihadist attack on London Bridge. Among the chaos of news that reached us, we learned that a young Spaniard, Ignacio Echeverr\u00eda, had lost his life in that terrorist act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The anguish that the Spanish society shared with his family soon turned into deep admiration as the details came in. We learned that the young lawyer was returning with his friends from skating and they came across the Dantesque scene. People running away, screams of terror, and in the background a terrorist stabbing a young woman. Ignacio didn't think about it, there was no time for it, and took his skateboard as a weapon and shield to fight against those terrorists. That young woman, Marie Bondeville, saved his life. The three terrorists were shot by the police. Ignacio died from a stab wound in the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But his gesture crossed borders and consciences. And he became known as 'the skateboard hero'. And tributes and recognitions followed. Skate parks all over Spain with his name. The highest decorations in Spain and Great Britain. Ignacio represented the best of our land. Courage, generosity, extreme altruism. And the best of Humanity. To be able to give his life for a stranger\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The musical Skate Hero<\/em> which premiered last June 5, with an excellent reception at the Joaqu\u00edn Rodrigo auditorium in Las Rozas (Madrid).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
