El XXII AJEDREZ VIVIENTE DE XÀBIA It took place last Saturday with the novelty of a new scenario. The Lepanto Avenue hosted the game board together with the presence of nearly a thousand people as public and more than a hundred participants among the musicians and actors.

At the start of the event, the Mayor of Xàbia, José Chulvi and the president of the Mare de Déu de Loreto Festival commission, Vicente Gavilà, organizer of the event, presented a commemorative plaque to schoolgirl Iris Cholbi, selected after her brilliant result at the Fogueres de Sant Joan Tournament and which led the camp black and Javier Gomis, delegate in Alicante of AEPAE (Spanish Association for the Prevention of Bullying (AEPAE), guest of honor this year, which was responsible for the white pieces.

The show Our Alicia, based on the story of Alice in Wonderland but in an updated version written by Raquel Violero and Hector Cruañes, with the theme of school bullying as a common thread, surprised the audience with its staging and the message that transfer.

Argument of the work

The script narrated real situations, that day by day, children live in their environment. The work started with the appearance of Alicia, a happy girl who read and imagined stories with her parents, but when she got older she lost interest in reading, avoiding relationships with her parents. He tried to fit into the institute where he witnesses a situation of bullying to one of his classmates. Then, the world of wonders opened before her to distort reality.

Alicia arrived at a square, where the stalker of her class, turned into the Red Queen, dictates how she has to dress people and even behave in the world of wonders, having everyone to be dressed in red like her. The Red Queen invites Alicia to her palace and, when she appears dressed in blue-a color she has never worn-is teased, so the Queen's assistants changed Alice's clothes to fit her world stripping her of her personality.

The performance ended with a battle between the two sides: the white, which represented freedom and truth, and the red, which embodied the terror of the Red Queen. Finally, the white pieces won and managed to bring peace to the world of wonders ... and to Alicia herself.

The XXII edition of Living Chess captivated everyone for another year. It should be noted that the Loreto Fiestas Commission has organized this event since 1996 with the sponsorship of the Town hall, and which this year had the collaboration of CaixaBank (La Caixa Foundation) and the Costa Blanca Provincial Tourism Board. In addition, this act received in 2002 the award of Fiesta of National Tourist Interest.

The Symphonic Orchestra of Xàbia also intervened under the baton of Joan Bou, who composed an ex profeso score for the work, the Salomé Rodríguez Dance Studio and the Jove Theater Workshop of Xàbia directed by Inma Sancho. The presenter was Irene Wittwer and the narrators, Loli Quesada and Laura Giuliano.
