Guantánamo – With a modest season of performances, the Guantánamo-based company Danza Fragmentada will celebrate its 32nd anniversary, highlighting the 15-year careers of three members of this cutting-edge group within the province’s professional dance movement.
The celebration also commemorates the 30th anniversary of the children’s and youth creation workshops Danza Fragmentada and the 10th anniversary of the Alfredo Velázquez Carcasés Professional Dance School, institutions that have trained generations of dancers in the region.
At its own venue, located on Los Maceo between Aguilera and Crombet streets, Fragmentada’s new season will honor principal dancers Yeineris Ramírez Ramírez and Giselli Vinent Díaz, and percussionist Rodelkis Balbier Sanrregré, for their dedication to the company as artists who has performed a repertoire acclaimed on stages in Cuba and abroad, and also for their role in training new talent in the company’s creative workshops.
