Today CAN brings you "¡Qué No Se Vuelva a Repetir!", a story by Aryeh Shell from her 2006 residency in El Salvador. Shell was an ArtCorps volunteer in El Salvador, where she lived in the rural flatlands, forming popular-theater groups with youth to develop their skills as community leaders and actors for social change. The Revolutionary Youth Theater was an ensemble Shell brought together with survivors of the Tierra Arrasada or Scorched Earth massacre of October 20-24, 1981, which took the lives 600-800 innocent people, mostly women, children and elders. "The memory was buried under the scorched earth for 20 years," says Shell. The young people turned the survivor's memories into a play called "¡Qué No Se Vuelva a Repetir!" (We want it never to happen again.) This article first appeared in art’ishake, Issue No 5 Winter-Spring 2007, an e-publication Art4Development.net. [LINK] Posted by Linda Frye Burnham
