With a tribute to Cuban visual artist Alexis Gutiérrez and the performance Aleluya, the 10th International Pantomime Encounter Havana 2024, which is being held in this capital until next Sunday, continues today.

The Tito Junco Hall of the Bertolt Brecht Cultural Centre, the venue for the event, will open its doors to dialogue on the work of this creator, a cartoonist, also linked to the world of literature.

Later, the show Sin Palabras, by the Italian artist Matteo Cionini, will take place, as well as a talk on the physical theatre Polimnia by Iván Olmo, from Puerto Rico.

The Cuban company Teatro del MIMO CLAN, directed by maestro Omar Amador, will perform Cimarrón, while Markus Schmid, a guest from Switzerland, will present Whomyn.

Dedicated to Physical Theatre and the work of the Pole Henryk Tomaszewski, the meeting was inaugurated the day before by the company Teatro del Cuerpo Fusión, directed by Maritza Acosta, and a tribute to two exceptional artists: Mateuz Kowalski (Poland) and Javier Alejandro Soria (Cuba).

Summoned by this authentic expression, representatives of Cuba will fuse mastery with 21 guest artists from Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Italy, Switzerland, Puerto Rico, Spain and Poland.

In addition to the traditional parade along several avenues of this capital, there will be book presentations, vernacular prints, tasting of dishes with themes linked to the event, among other initiatives.

The X Encuentro Internacional de Pantomima is organised by the Compañía Teatro del Cuerpo Fusión and seeks to create a positive impact on society through the art of gesture.
