The "El Averno" Cultural Center is a self-managed association located on Jr. Quilca in downtown Lima, an emblematic spot for the city's underground rock and cultural scene. After 14 years of contributing to culture by promoting events and showcasing countercultural artists in poetry, music, painting, sculpture, and many other forms of artistic expression, it is facing eviction due to problems with the owners of the premises they occupy. Jorge "El Negro" Acosta, the association's founder, recounts the history of El Averno. The video shows the last event held at the venue, a concert that reunited some of those who participated in the cultural center's inauguration.
