Michelangelo Merisi de Caravaggio, known for his startlingly naturalistic depiction of religious figures, a<br />
master of chiaroscuro and an influential figure in Baroque art, heads the exhibition of Italian paintings with his<br />
masterpiece “Narcissus at the Fountain” plus 12 other works of his followers. “Narcissus” is the last painting<br />
of the second stage of the artist in which he depicts the beautiful youth in Greek mythology who fell in love<br />
with his reflection. The painting, which is part of the collection of the National Gallery of Ancient Art of the<br />
Barberini Palace in Rome, will be on exhibition at the Universal Building of the National Museum of Fine Arts<br />
until 27 November.<br />

opposing end them. To die--to sleep--no more.”<br />
Hamlet’s speech will once again move<br />
audiences in this play that delves into the ins<br />
and outs of power, disloyalty, doubt. Performed<br />
by the Máscara Laroye and Rita Montaner<br />
theatre <strong>com</strong>panies, its director, Giraldo Moisés<br />
Cárdenas, has preferred a relatively<br />
conventional production of Shakespeare’s<br />
famous play.<br />

Sala Adolfo Llauradó<br />
Performed by the Rita Montaner theatre<br />
<strong>com</strong>pany, Nevada, by the young Cuban<br />
playwright, Abel González Melo, produced and<br />
directed by Fernando Quiñones Posada,<br />
delves into the micro world–which is not so<br />
small after all--of the Havana that annuls terms<br />
such as virtue and morality. Rosnay, who is a<br />
pimp, among other things, dreams with visiting<br />
Nevada and drags his “girlfriend” Lucia with<br />
him. Nevada is not precisely Lucia’s goal, but<br />
she doesn’t want to lose Rosnay and decides<br />
to embark on an illegal journey. This is the<br />
beginning of this play, which gets <strong>com</strong>plicated<br />
in unsuspected ways, and whose characters<br />
are men and women of a troubled and thorny<br />
here and now.<br />

11-13 Oct, 6:00 pm / 2011<br />
Sala Adolfo Llauradó<br />
Based on the famous legendary literary<br />
character Don Juan, this pleasant <strong>com</strong>edy<br />
written by Cuban playwright Abelardo Estorino<br />
and produced by Teatro Pálpito delves into a<br />
recurring theme in Cuba’s theatrical world and<br />
society—machismo, or male chauvinism.<br />
Under the premise of “criticizing customs while<br />
laughing,” the play directed by Ariel Boza, who<br />
also heads the <strong>com</strong>pany, delves deeply into<br />
vices such as slander, gossip and prejudices,<br />
which weigh down man’s feeling of fulfillment.<br />

The Malecon, after midnight. Hundreds of lovers on the wall, as if the night wasn’t steamy<br />
enough. Below them the sea, breathing slowly. Beyond them the nightlife of Havana. Not<br />
Old Havana, not those postcards. The real city, two million strong, most of which are<br />
awake...<br />
THE tribute concert Aug. 12 for Fidel Castro’s 85th birthday, at the Karl Marx Theater in<br />
Havana, was billed as the Serenata de la Fidelidad (the Serenade to Fidelity). In terms of<br />
flat- footed plays on the name of Cuba’s maximum leader, I prefer “The Fideliad” — which<br />
speaks to his epic, exhausting and endless run, which began in 1959...<br />

Twenty-five miles outside Havana along the coastal highway, the sleepy fishing village of<br />
Guanabo sits beside perfect sandy beaches, warm water and ideal bodysurfing waves.<br />
Cows graze on the nearby hillside, and anyone foolish enough to be out in the heat sits<br />
under the shade of a tree. An old rickety lo<strong>com</strong>otive hoots as it chugs along the bottom of<br />

While in Cuba this past July, I had the pleasure of seeing the all-female group, Obini Bata,<br />
perform at Havana’s Yoruba Cultural Association. Obini means “woman” in the Yoruba<br />
language of Nigeria, and Bata is the name given to the hourglass-shaped drums that<br />
ac<strong>com</strong>pany Yoruba dance and song. The culture of Bata drumming originates with<br />
Africans who were brought to Cuba as slaves. However, women have historically have<br />
been banned from playing the Bata. At some point, it was decided to sanctify the Bata<br />
drums for the purposes of playing them inAfro-Cuban religious ceremonies...<br />

Things are pretty tense around here. And it doesn’t help that Hurricane Irene is heading<br />
towards Port-au-Prince as I write this. When it’s threatening this close, we swing into<br />
action (see note 1). 2011 is a particularly harrowing hurricane season because we’ve<br />
escaped major damage for 2 years running (toca madera/knock on wood). Like an<br />
unfaithful spouse who spends too many Saturdays ‘at the office’ or ‘runs errands’ at odd<br />
