2024-08-02 20:30 | Westchester Cultural Arts Center, 7930 SW 40th St, Miami, FL, 33155, United States
ARCA Images and Miami-Dade County Auditorium present the World Premiere of “Papier Maché” on August 1-11 at the Westchester Cultural Arts Center (WCAC).
La historia gira alrededor de la vida y el trabajo de la importante pintora cubana Antonia Eiriz.
Antonia alcanzó su mayor reconocimiento como pintora en la Cuba revolucionaria de la década de 1960. En el apogeo de su carrera, después de sufrir ataques y críticas por parte de algunos comisionados y representantes de las instituciones culturales del país, quienes la acusaban decrear una obra pesimista y derrotista que se alejaba de la nueva realidad social, optó por retirarse y permanecer en silencio en la escena artística durante más de veinticinco años. En el texto, un director de teatro intenta “vender” un proyecto sobre Antonia a productores, bienales y teatros en Europa. La incomprensión y las dudas ideológicas, culturales y comerciales que su idea genera son parte de la trama de la obra, junto con la investigación que debe realizar para reconstruir los eventos y causas que rodearon la supuesta censura y autoexilio de la artista.

MDCA Away from Home: "Papier Maché" de Carlos Celdrán
2024-12-21 17:00 | Westchester Cultural Arts Center, 7930 SW 40th St, Miami, FL, 33155, United States
Back by popular demand, ARCA Images and Miami-Dade County Auditorium present “Papier Maché” on December 21 & 22 at the Westchester Cultural Arts Center (WCAC).
La historia gira alrededor de la vida y el trabajo de la importante pintora cubana Antonia Eiriz.
Antonia alcanzó su mayor reconocimiento como pintora en la Cuba revolucionaria de la década de 1960. En el apogeo de su carrera, después de sufrir ataques y críticas por parte de algunos comisionados y representantes de las instituciones culturales del país, quienes la acusaban decrear una obra pesimista y derrotista que se alejaba de la nueva realidad social, optó por retirarse y permanecer en silencio en la escena artística durante más de veinticinco años. En el texto, un director de teatro intenta “vender” un proyecto sobre Antonia a productores, bienales y teatros en Europa. La incomprensión y las dudas ideológicas, culturales y comerciales que su idea genera son parte de la trama de la obra, junto con la investigación que debe realizar para reconstruir los eventos y causas que rodearon la supuesta censura y autoexilio de la artista.
La obra está dirigida por Carlos Cedrán, con la producción de Alexa Kuve y contará con las actuaciones de Zulema Clarés, Ariel Texidó, Rosalinda Rodríguez, Andy Barbosa, Guillermo Cabré.
