Severo secreto

Severo Sarduy was a hybrid of the various ethnic origins - Spanish, African and Chinese - that comprise Cuban culture. As impossible to pigeonhole as his roots would indicate, Sarduy left Cuba to study in Paris in 1960 and never returned. One of the leading lights of the Neo-Baroque movement in literature, his novel, Cobra, won the Medici Prize. The Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid hosted a major retrospective of his paintings after his death from AIDS. The husband-and-wife tandem of Oneyda González and Gustavo Pérez (They Would All Be Queens) hail from the Cuban province of Camagüey, where Sarduy was born. Traveling from Havana to Miami and Paris, they set out to unravel the mystery that was one of the island’s most transgressive artists, gaining unprecedented access to the Sarduy archives from his longtime companion François Wahl. They succeed in their mission without violating the artist’s abiding enigma, that is, without betraying the essence of their subject. A remarkable achievement.

Sala Alberdi

Buenos Aires. The 27 of August 2010, a theatre located on the sixth floor of a historic building built in the sixties and set to become the largest cultural center of Latin America, is occupied by artists, students and teachers resisting its privatization. Since then, it was self-managed through work commissions and open assemblies, offering free workshops of dance, theatre and music while denouncing the policies of closure and emptying of cultural centers carried out by the ex governor and current president of Argentina. The first of January 2013, private security and Metropolitan Police prohibit access to the Cultural Center. Ten protesters lock themselves in the theatre while a camp of forty tents is set on the square to resist the closure of the theatre from an imminent eviction.

Buenos Aires, 1984. The city awakens from the long night of dictatorship. Its streets are once again filled with people. Democratic euphoria tinges everything with a multi-colored optimism. However, from the margins, identifying with black, the color no one wants to see, a group of young people is preparing to intervene in public space in a revolutionary way. Without even suspecting it, they are about to launch a theatrical device that will mark a before and after in the world of theater and performance in Argentina.

Misión Sueños Compartidos

When the Mothers decided to hold their final March of Resistance in January 2006, many thought they were beginning to abandon the central role in the struggle that had defined them for thirty years. But once again, they raised the banners of their children, and in the same places where they began their struggles and where many of them were kidnapped and disappeared, the Mothers began to change the reality of the most marginalized, those who had always needed everything. That's why the first homes were built in Villa 15 in Ciudad Oculta, and at the same time, the kindergarten, the school, etc. Soon after, this undertaking continued in the Los Piletones neighborhood and will continue on properties along Castañares Avenue, and in every place where the needs of the people demand it...
