She decided to study acting at the age of 15, after having passed the aptitude tests of Bayamo\u2019s Professional Art School (EPA).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Theater has been one of the pillars in Danay\u2019s career, although, as is common in Cuba, the leap to the small screen is vital to gain the preference of a large part of the national audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At this time, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/coronavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">COVID-19<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> pandemic has stopped all previewed plans, precisely at the moment when the actress had started rehearsals with the El Portazo theater group, for the staging of \u201cTodos los hombres son iguales,\u201d where in addition to comedy, the actress can be seen dancing and singing. A real challenge, she told us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the moment, comedy continues to be the driving force for Danay, \u201cmainly in plays,\u201d she tells us, \u201cbut it was not until July 2019 when I got into humor, since the comedy program \u201cOtto x Otto\u201d was created for the summer programming, to which I was invited. It was there that for the first time I began to interact with the group of comedians and began to discover the difficult and admirable world of humor, thus the character of Lola Mento was born.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_235102\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-235102\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Danay-Cruz-lola-mento-actriz-humorista-2-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-235102\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Danay-Cruz-lola-mento-actriz-humorista-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Danay-Cruz-lola-mento-actriz-humorista-2-1.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Danay-Cruz-lola-mento-actriz-humorista-2-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Danay-Cruz-lola-mento-actriz-humorista-2-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Danay-Cruz-lola-mento-actriz-humorista-2-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Danay-Cruz-lola-mento-actriz-humorista-2-1-750x422.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-235102\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Danay Cruz plays Lola Mento.
