The historians of Cienfuegos tell that the first French pirates settled in Cayo Carenas, almost in the center of the bay of that southern province. The site was known as the "Key of Jagua" and there was an arms center during the War of 1895, then hostels and fishing clubs with a very typical architecture appeared.

Born in Ciego de Avila on May 28, 1987, directed by Orlando Concepción, the company has performed "Medea", a work by Euripides, then "Troy", based on the literary piece The Odyssey and "Cecilia, the clay angel ", an adaptation of the text by Cirilo Villaverde. With these classics pieces, the group of more than forty members intends to educate the aesthetic taste of people who pass and stop to look at them. Three decades have passed since its first staging - Once upon a time a king -, still surprising by the slow movement of the actors, the spectacular costumes and the successful musical selection. They are able to paralyze any city with their art D'Morón Teatro. Photo: Potter.
