{"product_id":"el-dia-que-apagaron-la-luz-camila-fabbri","title":"The Day They Turned Out the Lights, Camila Fabbri","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn December 30, 2004, a crowd of teenagers packed the República de Cromañón venue in Buenos Aires. It was the second of three consecutive nights of concerts scheduled there by the popular underground rock band Callejeros. But shortly after the first song began, tragedy struck: a flare hit a canvas tarp on the ceiling, and within seconds, a violent fire spread, killing nearly two hundred young people and injuring close to a thousand. That event, one of the worst tragedies in Argentina's recent history, not only shocked the country: it also marked the end of innocence for an entire generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSome time later, Camila Fabbri, who had attended the previous night's concert, addressed the disaster and its consequences in this book, which we are now re-editing with a new prologue by the author, twenty years after the catastrophe. Halfway between a polyphonic novel and journalistic chronicle, Fabbri constructs an evocative narrative in which she pours her own memories and the testimony of those affected. With a lucid and serene gaze, she does not seek a journalistic recapitulation of the facts or to point out the guilty, but rather to explore the human dimension of the accident and present a snapshot, both personal and historical, of an era. Throughout the work, her voice blends with those of friends, family, and witnesses, forming a fragmented but precise mosaic of an event that remains painfully present in collective memory even today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Day They Turned Off the Lights is not only a valuable reflection on the discovery of vulnerability and on how tragedy strikes us and transforms us into adults: it is also an emotional and bittersweet tribute to the companions who are no longer with us, to first nocturnal adventures, to longed-for youth, and to the dreams and music that one day forged our identity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sur Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44150010937395,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/4281\/5539\/files\/10.png?v=1774524533","url":"https:\/\/www.surbooks.com.au\/en\/products\/el-dia-que-apagaron-la-luz-camila-fabbri","provider":"Sur Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
