The imminent meeting at Camagüey National Theatre Festival serves as an ideal starting point of this space, n ot only because that event is the largest biennial sample of Cuban theater , but because this fifteenth edition will host a meeting that will be the primary focus of our section “Pasos de Gato” (Catwalk). The panel ¨Una isla, el teatro: Veinte años de intercambios culturales entre Cuba y su diáspora norteamericana¨ (An island, theater: Twenty years of cultural exchanges between Cuba and its American Diaspora) will take place next Wednesday, October 8, right in the middle of the event, to be held from Friday 3rd to Saturday 11th. It is an "import" from the United States because it met there for the first time in a small room of the impressive Palmer House Hotel, in Chicago , where the latest international congress of the Latin American Studies Association (LASA) took place last June.

They will be accompanied by journalist and theater critic Maite Hernández-Lorenzo, from Casa de las Americas and the Master Yohayna Hernandez and this columnist , both dramatists of Tablas -Alarcos Publishing House, belonging to CNAE. The Cuban -American playwright Pedro Monge Rafuls, director of Ollantay Magazine in New York, and the cultural manager and producer Ever Chavez, head of FUNDARTE agency in Miami, could not attend the event for various reasons.
