The movie- theatre Ismaelillo played host to two concerts over the last weekend by the Cuban Company of Spanish Ballet during the celebration of the Iberia-American Festival held in Holguin to bring material and artistic solidarity to Ike-hurricane affected communities.
The prestigious Ballet Company was founded back in 1987, sponsored then by Cuban Prima Ballerina Absoluta Alicia Alonso, as Group of Spanish Dancing, later known as Havana Spanish Ballet and eventually, by resolution of Cuban Ministry of Culture, as Cuban Company of Spanish Ballet in 2 000.
Directed nowadays by one of its former premier-dancer, Eduardo Veitía, the company confirmed its presence in Holguín to act, too, in places hit by Ike hurricane.
The Cuban Company of Spanish Ballet includes in its repertoire not only classical and pop flamenco but also a fusion as representative elements of worldwide trends in the genre and has been awarded many national and international prizes in its almost 12 years.
“The Fanthom”, its last work, caught the eye of theatre-goers in this Cuban north-eastern city of Holguin where there are also companies interested in the genre.
