CAMAGÜEY.- And after announcing so much for the birthday, the Contemporary Ballet of Camagüey did not perform at the theater. They chose to dance Enreda2, in the little park of the Teatro Principal, with the natural light of last Saturday afternoon.

 It is not the work dreamed of by its choreographer and director Lisandra Gómez, who always gives strong weight to the art of lighting.

 On the marble covered with linoleum they were exposed in that fabric of movements of a work made, stitch by stitch, to motivate true human communication.

Although it was not an original piece for that public space, the performance highlighted the urban environment and the scenic potential of the little park. The sculpture Talía by Aisar Abdalá Jalil Martínez seemed to dance.

 The nine dancers on stage and the company team in general deserve our applause for their intrinsic effort.

 They, citizens like us, suffer from the crisis situation in which we live: without electricity from early morning until part of the night.

 For Enreda2, the young Adrián Cancino Rossell made the original music. It is the fourth collaboration with the company. This time he explored Latin jazz.

 It is not difficult to imagine the conditions in which they set up and rehearsed. We, without moving a finger, are almost melted by the almost extreme heat. What will mark the thermal sensation on a dancer's body?

 But last Saturday, at 7:00 p.m., there was shade and air in that place. Several people accompanied that event, that point of light that does not give in to the cultural blackout.

 We cannot settle for this alternative. In other moments, not far away, also of crisis with energy carriers, the theater has been lit.

 Let's hope that soon the Contemporary Ballet of Camagüey will be able to offer the program with guests included, which we were so excited about. The ballet will turn 22 on May 23rd.
