September 13, 2023, Old Havana – Interactive performance.
General direction and artistic direction: Erika Ivacson
Choreography: Aymara Vila
Production: Daniel Arévalo
Actors: Adlih Fernández, Adriana Migueles Rodríguez, Alexander Barrero Vaillant, Daniela Gascón Ramírez, Ernesto Domenech, Jennifer Torres Roque, Jessica Torres Roque, Leonardo Romero Negrón, Lianka Real Spech, Marian Hernández Manuz, Marla Almaguer, Yanela Lázara Rosabal, Yaniry Fariñas García, Amelia Domenech.
Three presentations were made with the DAB project and each had its own characteristic, adapting to a different space but maintaining its own content and expressive power. The third presentation was held in honor of the 10th anniversary of the P. Félix Varela Institute. The artistic presentation starts with an interactive installation involving professional artists, young people, and also the audience. The DAB Project, through the act of creation, is a testimony of mutual growth and the power of art to reveal who we are and who we can become. Art is a human potential that through every movement, every word, and every brushstroke brings us closer to our essence.

THE FACE, MY IDENTITY
04.05.2023 – Welcoming myself, accepting and listening to myself, being with myself, living with myself.
Pau Ricoeur’s answer to the internal question of identity is based on narrative theory. Ricoeur says that man understands himself to the extent that he narrates himself.
It seems very interesting because it really is something we do every day, we relate to others, we make our life a narrative, but here the comment I would like to make is: How do we relate to ourselves?
MEET YOU

INTERCULTURALITY

The experience was unique. It came at a time when I needed an emotional respite and art was the best way for that. [The course] gave me an opportunity to meet and share with fantastic people, create together, discuss various topics and learn. It really changed my life, the socialising made me much more empathetic, sensitive and respectful towards otherness. In the end it gave me something huge, love. It is something worth repeating.

We have all had a wonderful experience within the course, because of the inter-subjective relationships and friendships we have built over these three months. We all felt that the time we had was quite short, which means we did something good.

I think it was a door that opened, a possibility. A door that we do not go through leaving out who we are, but entering with all our experiences, carrying that backpack that sometimes weighs us down and that I now feel is lighter. I feel it has helped us to be more ourselves, to discover what we have inside and who surrounds me.

[The workshop] Helped me to open up more in the creative process, also in my way of thinking, of acting, and at the same time it helped me to get in touch with other people, artists, experts in every subject who contributed their part to this artistic experience of growth.
