The Hermanos Saiz Association granted Cuban Carlos Acosta, leading figure of the London Royal Ballet, the Member of Honor distinction.
During the ceremony Acosta told the press: “I still want to do a lot for my people, for the well-being of my country; becoming a bond between my country and the world because I think that we should only care about the well-being of the nation. That’s why all artists and intellectuals must unite on a single path: The happiness of our people”.
Acosta also announced that he will publish in the near future his novel "Pata de puerco" (Pig’s foot) and said he want to create a choreographic version of the ballet Don Quixote to reintroduce it into the British company’s repertoire.
