Strange fish which at times seem close toabstraction, expressed with acrylic paints onpaper and canvas testify to Osmany Piedra’singenuity, creativeness and free use of colourin his works.

A master of photorealism during the 1970s,Flavio Garciandía has later dealt with otherstyles which have taken his interest to thetheoretical and conceptual planes of art. Hehas been arguably the most constantrenovator and experimenter of all Cubanartists, without losing communication with theviewers.

The American photographer Jim Campen andhis wife, artist Phyllis Ewen, have gathered anumber of works which bear witness to theirvisit to Havana in 2004, as well as reflectingpools in several parts of the world.

Lectures supported by images given byceramists whose works are part of thepermanent collection of the National CeramicsMuseum.

Lucía

Alluding to director Humberto Solás’s well-known Cuban film Lucía, which tells the story ofthree women in three different periods in Cuba,this fourth Lucía--one-woman show written by Maikel Chávez and Eduardo Eimil and whichearned the actress the 2009 Caricato Prize--has one principal thing in common with itsantecessors: the force with which she defendsher dreams against adverse fate. In this case, the play deals with an actress who lives thesame anxieties and anguishes as any otherordinary Cuban and who goes from casting to casting in search of a character that will lift herout of anonymity.

La gran tirana is based on the life of thelegendary Cuban singer Guadalupe Yolí, whoafter a brief yet successful career in her owncountry, obtained fame and fortune in NewYork to later die in poverty and anonymity.According to the playwright and critic Amadodel Pino, with this play, “Carlos Padrón revealshimself as a writer who delves into the roots ofnationality, into the deepest recesses ofpopular culture. His close examination of thiswoman is credible, familiar, representable…itis more than an emblematic role or a time-wornpattern.

After two months of performance to a packedhouse, Mefisto Teatro continues this monthwith Chicago, which first opened in Broadwayin 1975. Deliberately drifting away from the2002 film version, the director, Tony Díaz, has formed a cast of bright young hopes andexperienced actors.
