Before its 10 cities tour in the United Kingdom, starting this February 14, the Cuban Contemporary Dance Company offered, during four nights at the beginning of this month, a farewell program in the Garc\u00eda Lorca Hall of the Great Theater of Havana Alicia Alonso. The performances were: Theo Clinkard’s The listening room; Matria etnocentra, by George C\u00e9spedes, The walls go away, by Julio C\u00e9sar Iglesias and Reversible, by Annabelle L\u00f3pez Ochoa.<\/p>\n

In Reversible, by Belgian-Colombian choreographer Annabelle L\u00f3pez, “the movements of the dancers are strong, acrobatic, sensual and meaningful. Ochoa develops a very own body language, where she skillfully fuses contemporary dance and Cuban elements”, said the German critic Bernhard Hartmann after the company’s show in Bonn.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, The Walls Go Away, by Cuban Julio C\u00e9sar Iglesias, proposes, according to his words, a look at freedom, at the pursuit of goals and unconformity; a gesture to Mario Benedetti in his Poems of the soul: “The walls go away, the night remains, nostalgias are gone, nothing remains.”<\/p>\n
