Second part of the tetralogy Map of the ruins of Europe -with which LaJoven reflects on the past, present and future idea of Europe-, FUEGO is a work located on the threshold of the Second World War, whose protagonists are young interwar Germans. At that time everything was possible for them. They had their hands on the wheel of history, just one turn away from changing everything forever. They were willing to give themselves to this mission, they just needed to be called. And they were. Something special was created for them: the Hitlerjugend (Hitler Youth) for the boys, the Bund Deutscher Mädel (League of German Girls) for the girls, and the next Germany began to take shape.

​

FIRE is a disc with two sides. Two stories that happen one night, in the heat of a bonfire. The first, starring four girls from the BDM, takes place at the Nuremberg Congress in 1934, the night after Hitler's speech to the 70,000 young people gathered there. The second, starring four boys from the Hitler Youth, takes place four years later, on the eve of the “Night of Broken Glass”. In both there are young people who do not know anything other than what they have been told. In both there is fear, hope and hate. In both the protagonists are young people who were willing to give the best of themselves but asked for the worst.

This is the drama of a manipulated youth, thrown directly into the fire.
