"El Iyawo"
“El
Iyawo” is an epic poem that beautifully and powerfully illustrates the
suffering and fear as well as dignity, morals , hopes and spirituality
of enslaved Africans who endured horrific crossings of the Atlantic
Ocean and established the African Diaspora as brave Cimarrones (runaway
slaves) in the new world. Vivid fragments of history, ritual and
tradition told through Cuban dance, song and music expression will
ignite the stage by reaffirming its footprint in the universal history
of the motherland, Africa in the American continent and in the
Caribbean. “El Iyawo” is an experience in art, human science and
anthropology.
