Erecciones Completas (10.30pm and 12am)
Performance.
The Shelters of Gisbert Street were built in 1937, during the Spanish Civil War. Excavated in the Conception
Hill, they were the largest shelters in the city that could accommodate 5,500 people.
From the beginning to the end of the war, Cartagena suffered repeated bombings by the German and Italian
aviation. The reasons for these bombings were the fact that the harbour was the Republic’s naval base, the
place where support to the Republican arrived and it was the second center of war industry in the Republican
zone. In 2006, Gisbert Street shelters opened to the public allowing people remember some episodes of our
recent
history.
OS REVERENDOS: Behind this Galician-Portuguese name, two performers poets hide. They are lovers of good
texts, comedy and verbal sparrings. Os Reverendos intend to disseminate their message, open branches
wherever they go and start a new religion.

Centro de Interpretación de la Muralla Púnica
David Ymbernón Poesía Visual Culinaria (10pm and 11.30pm)
Performance.
The interpretation centre - Centro de Interpretación de la Muralla Púnica (The Punic Wall Interpretation
Centre) deals with safeguarding the remains of the ancient Carthaginian wall which encircled the city and are
one of the rare remains of Punic archaeological sites in the Iberian Peninsula.
Near the wall, there is the crypt which is the only remains that are left from the chapel of San José, and dates
from the 16th to the 19th century.
The excavations of these two archaeological sites took place in 1987 and their development in 2003.
During the Museum Night, Ymbernón will tell how, as a child, he was intoxicated by drinking a potion he
prepared carefully. It was a hint of what would happen years later with "Bona Cuina” (Premio Nacional de
Acciones Artística 1999), later to be known as "Poesía Visual Culinaria": it consists of cooking a dish and from
an egg, you get a salad, from a banana you get a sausage, etc.
