Camagüey, May 23.- With the premise of promoting amateur dramatic art in the Camagüey territory, the Theater Festival Between Gestures and Words began in this city in its fourth edition, organized by the Provincial System of Houses of Culture.
This year the event is dedicated to the theater artist and arts instructor María Julia Sariol González, who has been within the system for more than three decades, which she considers one of the most noble and sensitive in Cuban culture and which constitutes a direct link between the artist and the community.
María Julia says that since her graduation she began to work within the Provincial System of Houses of Culture, there she carried out various tasks in the training of amateur artists and later, due to her performance, she managed to become director of the center itself.
In an interview, she expressed that she is an eternal admirer of the art instructor and the cultural promoter, because from her experience they are professionals dedicated to their work, complete artists capable of creating in different circumstances and taking that art to all places.
On the other hand, the opening day was honored with an exhibition of puppets that have distinguished the scene of the amateur theater group Olga Alonso, selected by its director Marlene Céspedes Fontes.
In the theoretical section of the event, Céspedes Fontes gave a workshop on making puppets with the fofucha technique, an art that was born in Brazil, where this curious word is used to describe everything that is charming, pretty, tender.
Likewise, the doctor of sciences Adonys Isidro Ordán Bolívar debated topics related to art and its direct link in the development of man, he also spoke about expressions of dramatic art, dance, plastic art and music, origins, particularities and manifestation in Camagüey.
This festival will continue until May 25, combining the efforts of the Provincial and Municipal Directorate of Culture, as well as amateur artists from the territory and professionals to develop even in the difficult electro-energetic circumstances that the country is going through.
