Lizt Alfonso Dance Cuba (LADC) will kick off celebrations marking the 35th anniversary of its founding with a special season entitled Alas por dentro<\/em>, an intimate event that will open the doors of the company\u2019s headquarters on Fridays, February 13, 20, and 27, and March 6, at 5:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

The initiative aims to share, with a select audience, the very space where creative processes are born and where the journey toward the grand stage begins.<\/p>\n

This experience revolves around the acclaimed production Alas<\/em>, a work of powerful messages that earned the Uneac (Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba) Award for Best Choreography upon its premiere two decades ago.<\/p>\n

According to the organizers, attendees will be able to tour the LADC headquarters as dancers prepare to perform, enjoy a curated selection from the piece, and engage in close dialogue with members of the creative team and those responsible for staging the production.<\/p>\n

This exclusive opportunity seeks to reveal the heart and the path traveled by an artistic collective and a large-scale work before its major flight onto the main stage. Alas<\/em> will reach a broader audience in mid-March, when it returns to the theater.<\/p>\n

Artistic director and choreographer Lizt Alfonso aims to demonstrate that a performance begins long before the curtain rises. In this case, she explained, the work is conceived as a hymn to human spirituality, with scenes whose titles become states of the soul: wings to be, to endure, to exist, to struggle, to feel, to live, to swing, to keep the rhythm, to fly.<\/p>\n

The LADC musical ensemble, under the direction of Carmen Souto, will perform compositions by Yuniel Rasc\u00f3n, Denis Peralta, Dami\u00e1n Nueva, Yordanis O\u2019Reilly, Juan Pablo Solas, and Lizt Alfonso herself.<\/p>\n

A blend of drama and humor that mirrors national identity, Alas<\/em> is an intense, joyful, and provocative production. Two decades after its world premiere\u2014or its first flight, as the company defines it\u2014it now returns with a renewed cast and live music, reaffirming the power of dance and dreams.<\/p>\n

Those interested in securing one of the 100 available seats per performance may reserve a place on business days and during business hours by contacting 52927037 (via WhatsApp) or 78660749 (landline). Each participant is asked to make a generous donation, which will help the prestigious institution continue developing its artistic, educational, and inclusive projects.<\/p>\n

Finally, the source notes that once a reservation is made, users have 48 hours to complete their donation. After that period, the reservation will be canceled, and the seat may be reassigned to another interested party.<\/p>\n
