A show in the colors of Havana
This show is a breath of fresh air after this long and painful confinement without being able to access culture. Unsurprisingly, the show kept its promises. It is both intoxicating, catchy, intense and emotionally charged. The troupe as well as the artistic direction and the staging ( by Julie DAYAN and Michaël XERRI) managed to make us travel to the famous country of cigars and Panama. The change of scenery is total, they offer us a panorama of Cuban music, an inexhaustible source continuing to cross minds and hearts. Cuban dances are of endless variety. Salsa is a mix of rhythmic styles and musical forms including, among others in this show, rumba, mambo, cha-cha-cha, reggaeton and other Afro-Cuban jazz tempos.

"Being Cuban is a philosophy of life"
You have to admire his talented artists on stage, who possess power and explosiveness in each of their scenes. We feel the constant passion of the artists as well as the professionalism of the dancers or musicians who have the merit of dragging us in their wake at multiple times in the evening. Cuban dances and their frenzied choreographies make us feel many emotions that are like a saving balm after months without cultural life in the capital.

Cuban culture is like a window to the world through which art can express itself. The troupe was able to conquer the Parisian public with its joie de vivre, its message as a hymn to life and freedom !
