Dancing on the Edge: A Cuban Rumba
Un documental de Beat Bieri y Ruedi Leuthold
Join us for the Midwestern debut of this new film, starring Alexis & Christa Hernandez.
Alexis & Christa have visited South Bend--some of you know 'em!--taught workshops here, and also hosted folks from the Bend in their Havana Guesthouse.
The documentary explores the importance and history of dance in Cuba through their story and others, in addition to providing a snapshot of some of the current challenges on the Island amidst a rich culture that keeps evolving.
Doors open at 6 PM for light refreshments, including some delicacies from Cuba, followed by the screening at 6:30 PM. And assuming good tech reception in Havana, Alexis & Christa will Zoom in directly after the screening to say hello and answer questions.

Acompáñenos al estreno en los Estados Unidos de esta nueva película, protagonizada por Alexis y Christa Hernández.
Alexis y Christa han visitado South Bend —¡algunos de ustedes ya los conocen!—, han impartido talleres aquí y también han recibido a grupos de "The Bend" en su casa de huéspedes en La Habana, Cuba.
El documental explora la importancia y la historia de la danza en Cuba a través de su propia historia y la de otros, además de ofrecer una instantánea de algunos de los desafíos actuales en la isla, en el marco de una rica cultura que continúa evolucionando.
Las puertas se abrirán a las 6:00 p. m. para ofrecer un refrigerio ligero, con excelente delicias de Cuba, seguido de la proyección a las 6:30 p. m. Y, suponiendo que la conexión técnica en La Habana sea buena, Alexis y Christa se conectarán por Zoom inmediatamente después de la proyección para saludar y responder a sus preguntas.
Este evento es gratuito y abierto al público. La película está en español con subtítulos en inglés.
