Summary:

This short article recreates the text of the video made in memory of Ignacio Martín-Baró at the age of 20 years after his murder. It is a meeting point between music, through a tribute to Quinteto Tiempo, narrative fictions as a resource to organize acts of memory. With references to tragic choirs, to the classics of Aristotle and Paul Ricoeur, the writing offers a methodology for the treatment of history, both collective and singular.

Key words: Martín-Baró | memory | State terrorism | creative act
