Guantananamo.- The young Guantanamo-born actor Marcos Alejandro Castillo Thompson of the Teatro de la Totalidad group is touring the country’s capital as part of the Honor Project sponsored by the Hermanos Saíz Association (AHS). It is an initiative that pays tribute to two essential figures in theater: maestro Armando Morales and minstrel Eldys Cuba, according to a post on the cultural organization’s Facebook page.
The project resulting of a collaboration between the AHS branches in Guantánamo and Santiago de Cuba, brings together the one-man shows “Oshosi” and “El pícaro burlado,” performed by the actor Marcos Alejandro Castillo Thompson. Both were staged under the advisory of renowned theater director Eldy Luis Cuba Milán, who is also the director of one of the plays and artistic advisor of the other.
The post on the aforementioned digital platform also revealed that the well-known Callejón de Hamel was one of the community spaces where actor Marcos Alejandro Castillo Thompson performed “Oshosi,” and at the Gorria Art Gallery in the Havana neighborhood of San Isidro, he performed “El pícaro burlado,” the play awarded with the El Reino de Este Mundo Scholarship in 2023.
