Nottingham stage ready for Cuban flair

Audiences will be whisked away to Cuba this week when Acosta Danza visits Nottingham’s Royal Concert Hall.

Acosta Danza was set up by iconic ballet star Carlos Acosta to develop young talent, showcase Cuban performers and put the vibrancy of Cuban culture firmly centre stage.

100% Cuban features UK premieres from three exciting young Cuban choreographers— Hybrid by Norge Cedeno Raffo, Liberto by Raúl Reinoso and De Punta a Cabo by Alexis Fernandez (Maca).

Also in the programme are two big hits from the 2020 UK tour— Paysage, soudain, la nuit by Sweden’s Pontus Lidberg and Impronta created for Acosta Danza by Spanish choreographer Maria Rovira.

Carlos Acosta, the company’s founder, said: “I am thrilled that Acosta Danza is returning to the UK after such a difficult time for the industry.”

100% Cuban is presented by Dance Consortium and will be at Nottingham’s Royal Concert Hall on Tuesday and Wednesday.
