A new artistic project will be presented in Cuba by the principal dancer Carlos Acosta, director of the Cuban company Acosta Danza and the Birmingham Royal Ballet in the United Kingdom. This is Acosta Danza Yunior, which will take the stage at Havana’s Mart\u00ed Theater on Friday, February 9, Saturday, February 10, and Sunday, February 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Titled Green Shoots<\/strong>, the season will feature three works: the world premiere of Fuga<\/strong>, a piece by Spanish dancer and choreographer Susana Pous, created especially for this new company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the first time in Cuba, the duet Nosotros<\/strong> by Beatriz Garc\u00eda and Ra\u00fal Reinoso will be performed, in the version created for Carlos Acosta’s show On Before<\/strong>, as reported by the press team of Acosta Danza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, the creative duo of Thais Suarez and Norge Cede\u00f1o sign the restaging of H\u00edbrido<\/strong>, a choreography that has undergone an almost total revision by its authors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Acosta Danza Yunior is composed of recently graduated professional dancers from the Acosta Danza Academy and, as a group, will have its own repertoire and performance schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Its artistic goals align with the contemporary style, with a marked influence from Cuban modern dance and the folk and popular dances of the Caribbean nation, considering the technical development of classical ballet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Acosta Danza Yunior is a result of the special study plan of the Acosta Danza Academy, including all dance specialties in the same category and is integrated into the system of Cuban artistic education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The name of the new group plays on words with Carlos Acosta’s second name and the Latin word \u00abjunior,\u00bb meaning \u00abyounger,\u00bb used to refer to individuals starting their professional journey in a discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Translated by Luis E.
