LÁZARO AND THE SHARK. CUBA UNDER THE SURFACE, CU, US 2022, William Sabourin O'Reilly
Once a year, the inhabitants of Santiago de Cuba pour into the streets for carnival. It is both the expression of joie de vivre and of subtle criticism – arrests are quite likely. Dance and rhythm unite Cuban identity. Without huge financial resources but instead great inventiveness, the people craft their costumes and floats themselves. A celebration of perseverance in Cuba!
