I walked into a rehearsal of The Weight of an Island three days before its premiere. The Avellaneda Theater had no electricity. The stage was held together by the faint daylight filtering in from one side and a few scattered flashlights that carved moving bodies out of the darkness. There was no lighting design yet—though Freddys Núñez Estenoz’s was already on paper—but there was something more essential: theater stripped to its core, where gesture, word, and breath are enough.

 We were at La Comarca, a space where words, images, and conversation meet, within the framework of the Golpe a Golpe Young Creators Fair—an initiative that is not just an event, but a way of insisting on art as a collective gesture, even in difficult times.

We began without electricity. Inside the Fénix Room of the Casablanca Multicine, a small generator barely powered a couple of cameras and lights—just enough to sustain a dream: a conversation with Teodoro and Santiago Ríos, the Canarian filmmakers who have learned to see Cuba as a homeland of childhood and memory.

The news arrived the way good things often do: with a soft tremor recognized even before reading it fully. Artisan Luisa Aurora Morell Cabrera, 88, has been granted the Memoria Viva Award 2025 in the Personality category, bestowed by the Juan Marinello Cuban Institute for Cultural Research.

Despite the rain, the restaurant El Emperador, located near the Casino Campestre in the city of Camagüey, opened its doors on the morning of Saturday, October 25th, 2025, to host the Provincial Literary Workshops Event for Adults, organized by the Provincial Center for Houses of Culture (CPCC). The gathering brought together the winners of the municipal-level competitions.
