Acosta Danza mixes classical ballet and contemporary dance with flamenco, and Afro-Cuban styles. Raul Reinoso’s SATORI undertakes an inner journey to spiritual enlightenment, to the discovery of inner truth, beauty and light.
Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui’ Faun gives form to the juxtaposition of human and animal elements. This duet shows the duality of male and female energy simultaneously discovering and taunting each other. Pntus Lidberg’s PAYSAGE celebrates youth from dusk until dawn. carried by a score from Leo Brouwer inspired by rumba rhythms. Traditional cultural heritage meets modern dance in Impronta combining contemporary and Afro-Cuban folk dances.
The program ends with DE PUNTA A CABO and the entire dance ensemble on stage. Set against a projection of Havana's stunningly beautiful waterfront, the Malecón, this piece reveals all the contradictions of contemporary Cuban society.
