10 Million by Argos Teatro (Cuba)

FUNDarte & Copperbridge Foundation in association with Miami-Dade County Auditorium present, “10 Million” by Argos Teatro. This theatre piece is a portrayal of a generation depicting the life of a young boy growing up in the tumultuous aftermath of Fidel Castro’s revolution in Cuba. Torn between his communist mother and alienated middle-class father, he seeks to find his own way in a world turned upside-down by history.

Every day we reinvent our biographies and forget the prior one in a collective amnesia that looks at the present without any links to that which we thought previously. This piece is an interpretation of the incongruent past, of its darkness, and of the uncertain; of those that we once were and no longer understand; the many others that we used to be and later buried in order to survive. One could attempt to define Ten Million as a story about the wasted memory of what we once were.
