Summary: "Ja hi van al África : Pessa patriótica en un acte by J. A. Ferrer Fernández" is a patriotic one-act play written in the mid-19th century. The piece, composed in verse, stages a civic send-off for Catalan volunteers heading to the African campaign, blending martial zeal, communal pride, and intimate family feeling. Set in Barcelona during a time of mobilization, the action opens in a public square where D. Lluís and local youths praise the surge of enlistments. Jaume, an elderly farmer, is refused as too old, while his son Jordi prepares to depart; Margarida fears for him, and Doloretas—Jordi’s young wife and cantinière—vows to accompany him bravely. The scene shifts to the waterfront thronged with townspeople, vendors, officials, and musicians. Rousing speeches exalt Catalonia and Spain as the volunteers, bearing a banner of the Virgin of Montserrat, are blessed by family and cheered by choruses of women and men. After emotional farewells and vows of courage, Jordi leads the call to embark. Amid music, salutes, and cannon fire, the volunteers board the boats and depart for Africa, leaving the city echoing with proud goodbyes. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
