Teatro de Las Estaciones to Celebrate 30 Years at the National Museum of Fine Arts

The acclaimed Teatro de Las Estaciones will commemorate its 30th anniversary at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Havana with the performance «Cuatro Estaciones para un Retablo.»

The celebration will take place on Tuesday, August 27, at 4:00 p.m., featuring the company’s founders, Rubén Darío and Zenén Calero. Both Darío and Calero are honored recipients of the National Theatre Award (2020) and the Master of Youth distinction (2023).

The program, presented in two parts, will pay tribute to the company’s predecessors and the values that have defined it since its inception in 1994, according to a press release from the National Museum of Fine Arts of Cuba.

The event will showcase performances by the ensemble’s actors and actresses, with special guest Freddy Maragoto, along with musicians Bárbara Llanes and Rochy Ameneiro. The program will feature musical adaptations of poetic texts by Alfredo Zaldívar, María Laura Germán, Nelson Simón, José Manuel Espino, and Norge Espinosa.

The celebration will culminate with the documentary «Retablo de Sol y Luna,» directed and scripted by Isabel Cristina and Jorge Ricardo.

In anticipation of the event at the Museum’s Theatre Hall, the Teatro de Las Estaciones was recognized in July with a theoretical discussion at the Rubén Martínez Villena Hall of the National Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba (UNEAC), acknowledging its significant contributions to contemporary Cuban culture.

The Teatro Sauto hosted the first performance of the show, which will now be presented in Havana, coinciding with the company’s three-decade milestone on August 12.
