The ballet that lasts about 10 minutes is interpreted by
emerging figures of the Cuban ballet company and with music
by Ignacio Cervantes, Ernesto Lecuona, Harold Gramatges and
Manuel Saumell.
Blanco told ACN that “Cuba inside a piano” is inspired on
the Cuban piano repertoire of the 19th century. The young
choreographer said throughout the performance, the public
will be able to enjoy great moments of the romanticism from
that period.
Blanco said he was motivated by the richness of Cuban music
and that the choreography mixes technique and neoclassicism.
The ballet will be danced by Yanet Abreu, Ariami Martin,
Laura Blanco, Dayis Torrientes, Verena Garcia, Annier
Navarro, Randy Crespo, Adrian Masvidal, Ignacio Galindez and
Josue Juzti.
The Cuban National Ballet, directed by Alicia Alonso, will
dedicate the performance to important Cuban singers and
composers.
The program includes choreographies by Alicia Alonso “The
Eclipse Night,” “Open Dialogue” and “Impromptu Lecuona,”
with music by Jose Manuel “Lico” Jimenez, Ignacio Cervantes
and Ernesto Lecuona, respectively.
“Rhythmic” by Ivan Tenorio and music by Amadeo Roldan will
be also performed by the Cuban National Ballet.
La Huella de España Festival, an event created and presided
over by Alonso, highlights the influence of Spanish customs
and traditions in the Cuban culture.
