For the Spanish speaker in Tetouan, Morocco, the week of April 16 – 24, 2012 promises to be an exciting week of creative cultural treats! I wish my Spanish were better.
The Cervantes Institute of Tetouan will be the center of many special events in April
This year, the 28th Spanish Cultural Week will be kicked off at the Sania R’mel Stadium with a soccer match(here we say “kora” or “futbol”) on Saturday, and the rest of the week will have a full schedule of symposiums, lectures, concerts (from classical to hip-hop), art and photography exhibitions and theater. I am particularly excited about Thursday morning’s (11:30) puppet theater performance by the famous Titiriteros de Binefar at the Spanish School, Jacinto Benavente.
If my translation is accurate, the symposiums will focus on:
- a dialogue of culture and human rights in the new Moroccan constitution
- a conference on renewable energy resources in Morocco
- Spanish-Moroccan relations during the era of Spanish Protectorate in Morocco
- the secrets of DNA and the related issues in forensics, medicine, and ethics
