The last 24 hours of Ignacio Echevarría, the hero of London, are a countdown.

The heroism of the Madrid boy who ran in the opposite direction to those who were fleeing from the terrorists who were stabbing passers-by had a counterpoint the day before.

Those moments of everyday life, the last rays of normal life that, as happens in Ukraine, nobody knows when they are about to vanish.

Now the musical

Skate hero

recreates his last day from the point of view of Joaquín Echevarría, his father.

"It was created by the Cruzados de Santa María Foundation," explains Joaquín Echevarría to this newspaper.

"Every three years, different Christian churches meet in Wales. In the coexistence they present a musical. As a result of the death of Ignatius, the Santa María Crusaders Foundation wanted to do it about him.

They are supposed to be done in English but they developed it in Spanish

".

What did Ignacio do the day before?

"He meets his group of friends at the

skate park

. A young Muslim man shares his concerns with Ignacio. He meets his friend Alexis, whom he hasn't seen for years. In that meeting, Ignacio learns the fate of a girl he He

was in love.

It leads him to reaffirm his personal conviction to give his life for others

", describes the website of the musical that reels, like a gospel, the ordinary life of Ignacio to show what he was made of.

"In those dialogues we get to know the inside of him."

Today there will be two performances, one in the morning for schoolchildren and the other in the evening, on the roof of Leganés, organized by the Getafe diocese and convened by the 11.M association for aid to victims of terrorism.

"Attendees will be presented with a bookmark that remembers the life and death of Ignacio.

It will be very emotional. Death is sad, but Ignacio's death represented in a musical is a source of joy. It is a happy component within the I remember the victims of terrorism".

Joaquín Echevarría continues to be surprised by the effect that his son's act had, still indelible.

"It's generated a lot of emotions in people. No one could have foreseen any of this."

The procedures for the canonization of Ignacio have already begun.

"We have created an association that we have presented to the bishopric. The objective is to collect testimonies, prepare a dossier. In this sense, the four people who survived the altercation in which he was involved will be able to tell what happened. Ignacio was unlucky. The hemorrhage He didn't cut himself and he died."
