VISITCUBA.com page 6 Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes. Edificio de Arte Cubano Through January 10 La isla del día después Exhibition by Enrique Camejo La isla del día después is a collection of watercolors by Luis Enrique Camejo. In a post-impressionist manner and the artist’s personal style, the city is seen under a heavy storm as an expression of its inner state, as a reflection of the checkered times. The question is: what could happen the day after the day on which we are alive? The battle between certainty and doubt is unleashed and into this very battle Camejo has ventured to tell us a singular tale about what is being wrought in that kind of fathomless hole which is the future, something in which what we call destiny plays a part. The artist’s contemplation takes him to view the island from outside, lifted up on the violent crest of the waves, at the very moment one is attempting to reach the spot that is so yearned for, on the other side of the avalanche, sprayed by the salt water. There is something valuable in his gesture that is preserved by his watercolors. He transmits unexplainable serenity in the middle of that flood and it helps to multiply the messages found in each piece. stamped with the rhythm established by a very specific mind that proposes new textures within the reigning state of contingency. The scenarios give the impression that people are fleeing towards the diaspora. We feel that this divisive decision does not turn us into adversaries, but into rather strange complementary elements. In one watercolor that bears the characteristics of a majestic landscape, a boat is crossing the bay; on the opposite shore, two beings are immersed in meditation. The silhouettes are tiny but clearly discernible despite the lowering storm-ridden sky. Previous work by Camejo has revealed to us the city in its different phases and in different mutations. Often he is obsessed with the nocturnal effects Havana is probably one of the most photographed cities in the world: between crumbling buildings and a certain lack of care, foreigners passionately take in the enigma it presents. Luis Enrique Camejo washes over certain very specific sites that are captured in such photos. Some are anonymous locations spread all over the compass but they are VISITCUBA.com page 7 provided by concerts of lights that create extraordinary nuances for his paintings. The way he handles light, including the headlights of cars, is an essential feature of his subject matter. Lights take on a symbolic function because they evoke the speed of the present. Now lights have been replaced by a homogenizing effect that covers everything with a whitening atmosphere, an intense grayness that takes over the protagonists and functions to great effect. It is a constant spilling over of what cannot be contained and usurps all that it can, installing a new version of reality. Inert expectant buildings remain in the background, impeccably detailed, witnessing the energy of the water. And now, night and day fuse together under the effects of fog. Camejo has positioned us at a crossroads where much speculation can take place; his painting not only serves the purpose of beauty but that of generating ideas. After viewing the exhibition, one takes to the city streets again and absorbs the sounds and sensations that reactivate the state of things that draws out the coordinates of our existence and those of everyone surrounding us VISITCUBA.com page 8 photography Ciudades de silencio Convento de San Francisco de Asís Throughout January Photographers Ignacio Barrios, Isabel Martínez and Alberto Chino Arcos (Cuba) capture not only the artistic treasures of each of the sites but also the sensations that the Père-Lachaise Cemetery in París, the La Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires and the Cristóbal Colón Cemetery in Havana can cause. Cuba iluminada Sala de la Diversidad Throughout January The exhibition is a collection of pictures of over 100 important figures of Cuban culture taken by the Spanish photographer Héctor Garrido from 2010-2013. During these years, the renowned photographer has worked on a project that includes culture in its more comprehensive meaning–artistic and literary manifestations, science and sports.

VISITCUBA.com page 11 Dance Special performance by Irene Rodríguez Sala Covarrubias, Teatro Nacional Jan 29, 6 pm Irene Rodríguez tick, tick, tock by Margaret Atkins It is easy to make Irene out among the four young women who are stamping their feet away. Young and self-assured, she is running the rehearsal. She greets us courteously but is perturbed that we are 15 minutes late – no Cuban time with Irene. She is an adherent to strict discipline and hard work. Qualities, which she believes, can trump physical disposition and innate talent. Not that Irene is short of natural ability – indeed she was asked at the “ripe old age” of 11 by Eduardo Veitía, Director of the Spanish Ballet of Cuba, to join his company. Five years later, she graduated as a ballerina and became part of the corps de ballet of the company. Little did her mother suspect when she enrolled her daughter in classical ballet at the Andalusian Cultural Center that Irene would duck out of class and join the Spanish dance classes which she clearly found closer to her spitfire nature… and heart. Irene’s mother is very important in her life. She is not only her mom but also the company’s representative. Although her mom’s dream was for Irene to become a ballerina, she supported her daughter’s wish of studying Spanish dance. After her five-year training under Veitía, she became a full member of the Ballet Español de Cuba where she rose to First Dancer and also became a teacher, choreographer and maître. VISITCUBA.com She studied Acting at the University of the Arts (ISA) and received Gold Diploma upon graduation in 2007. She has played a few roles in the theater and she is convinced that this experience is an important factor in her choreographies. When she auditions dancers for her company, she looks for integral professionals who are knowledgeable and skilled in different genres of dancing, as well as theatrical talent. In her opinion, if you don’t have dramatic aptitudes, dancing becomes mere gymnastics. This is why it is not easy for her to find the right dancers, despite the many schools that now teach Spanish dance from very early ages. Little girls donning long black skirts with flounces, shawls and flowers in their hair on their way to dance classes after school has become of late a common sight in Havana. The girls and boys of the Irene Rodríguez Company do not hide their pride in being part of this very young dance troupe founded in January 2012. The long rehearsal hours, the endless repetitions the young director puts them through have produced rave reviews everywhere they have performed. Apart from the work she carries out with her own company, she is the Spanish dance choreographic adviser and maître of the Cuban National Ballet, and at the request of Alicia Alonso, in 2012 she became the artistic director of the La Huella de page 12 España Festival–the Spanish Imprint Festival. Her many choreographies have been performed by the Spanish Ballet of Cuba, students from the Spanish Dance Faculty of the University of the Arts and outstanding students from the National Ballet and Opera School, besides her own company. Some of her most famous choreographies– acclaimed by both audiences and critics–are Suite del Sombrero de Tres Picos (a Spanish classic), Al-Ándalus (Flamenco), the work in two acts Emigrantes, which covers several dance styles, including Afro-Cuban, neoclassical and flamenco; and El crimen fue en Granada based on the poem of the same name by Spanish poet Antonio Machado and which garnered her the First Prize at the 7th Alicia Alonso Spanish-American Choreography Competition in 2012. This prize is only one in a long list of accolades and awards received by Irene as dancer, choreographer, promoter of Spanish culture in Cuba and collaborator with the Spanish Associations in the island. Because of this important work, the Federation of Spanish Associations in Cuba presented her with the Miguel VISITCUBA.com de Cervantes y Saavedra Award for her extensive career as leading figure in Spanish dance and for her contribution to disseminating Spanish culture. Outside Cuba, she has taught summer courses in Mexico for the PROART Academy for several years. In front of the camera, you hardly notice Irene Rodríguez’s restless nature that prevents her from losing even a second in her life. Courteously but firmly, Irene lets us know that she needs to continue with rehearsals for an upcoming performance. She has talent but she also has drive and ambition, chutzpah – it should make for a winning combination. For more information about Irene see http://www. irenerodriguezcompania.com Special performance by the Irene Rodríguez Spanish Dance Company on occasion of the 15th anniversaty of Habana Radio of the City Historian’s Office at Sala Covarrubias, Teatro Nacional, Jan 29, 6 pm page 13 José Lezama Lima Premio Casa de las Américas 2014 Initiated in Havana in 1960 to draw attention to the most significant literary production in Latin America—and at a later date, the Caribbean, too— in the genres of poetry, novel, short story, essay, theatre and testimony, as well as works in other languages spoken in the region, the Casa de las Américas Literary Award has gathered outstanding figures of contemporary writing, including Miguel Ángel Asturias, Mario Vargas Llosa, Julio Cortázar, Alejo Carpentier, Allen Ginsberg, Nicolás Guillén, Nicanor Parra, Jaime Sabines, Alfredo Bryce Echenique, Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Eduardo Galeano, Paco Ignacio Taibo II, José Lezama Lima, Italo Calvino, Camilo José Cela, José Saramago, to name a few. Throughout the years, many of the prize-winning works have become classics of the continent’s literature; thus, each year’s announcement creates great expectations among the public, who also have the opportunity to attend collateral activities programmed during the event. The jury will be in session in the city of Cienfuegos, where its members will hold lectures and readings of their works. Casa de las Américas will give out three honorary prizes–the José Lezama Lima Prize for Poetry; the José María Arguedas Prize for Narrative; and the Ezequiel Martínez Estrada Prize for Essay. The prizes will be awarded to significant works written by a Latin American author, the first edition of which are in Spanish and took place in 2011 or 2012. Prizes for unpublished works in the genres of short story, theater and essay will be given out during the 55th Casa de las Américas Literary Award. A Prize for Studies on Women will also be granted this year. Authors from the English speaking Caribbean will be able to participate with works of any genre written in English or Creole and published in those languages from 2010-2013, as well as nonfiction Brazilian works written in Portuguese and published in that language from 2010-2013.

A guajiro in the best sense of the word. His great love is the Cuban Tres, which is part of Cuba’s most important musical heritage. Over the course of several decades he is the musician who has most contributed to universalize the tres through recordings or live performances with musicians from Cuba and other countries, such as Joaquin Sabina, Oscar D’Leon, Pablo Milanés, Rosana, Ry Cooder, Silvio Rodríguez, Victor Victor, Yomo Toro and Victor Jara.
