Premiere of Sputnik
Thu-Sat, 8:30pm; Sun
February
, 5:00pm
By Cuban playwright, researcher and actor Ulises Rodríguez Febles. According to its author, the play is based on three true stories: a Russian woman who escapes from Cuba without her husband’s knowledge taking her son with her; a Cuban father with a son in Belarus with whom he desperately tries to make contact; and a Cuban student who disappears in the vastness of the Soviet Union and his father spots him in a photograph in Sputnik magazine being dragged away by the police during a rally at Pushkin Square in 1989 Moscow. The stories are part of our nation, our people, a part of our history that still survives in the collective subconscious. All month, El Sótano Theatre, Calle K entre 25 y 27, El Vedado, T. 832 0630.

El Thriller
