Estefanía de Paz Asín: ‘La Reina del Arga’
If you want more information , you can access the organizer detail sheet.
Estefanía de Paz Asín tells us the story of Remigia Echarren, the tightrope walker from Pamplona, on the 100th anniversary of her death. There was a time when all the female cats in Pamplona were named Remigia. There is a street in Pamplona named after Remigia Echarren, and perhaps she still lives on in the memories of some of our elders. She was an exceptional woman—a tightrope walker and artist—well known in Pamplona at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Who was this woman who earned the nicknames “The Queen of the Arga,” “Mademoiselle Agustini,” or “The Queen of the Tightrope”? Where did her desire to walk on high come from at a time when there were few examples of such feats?
Fascinated by the story of the tightrope walker, Estefanía de Paz Asín has searched and discovered, and where archived records have failed to provide details, she has continued to create and piece together the story to help us get to know this incredible woman.
