Carlos Acosta, Cuba's National Dance Award 2011, Performs in Holguín


By Amauris Betancourt.
The Eddy Suñol theater sold out completely: Carlos Acosta's first performance in Holguín. The audience reluctant in the beginning, very excited later clapping hands madly. Acosta won them over easily with his art. The chello player Amparo del Riego and contemporary dancer Laura Ríos kept him company.
 
He was awarded with the Hijo Ilustre and the Angelote distinctions  to aknowledge his work as an outstandig rep of the Cuban culture.
A book by him will come out soon in England: Pata de puerco. He hopes he can publish it in Cuba.  He also announced the shooting of a movie about his life.  
And said, lastly, he wants to widen his repertoire, not necessarily with classic pieces.
