The joy of the red noses will arrive today in Matanzas.
Colors, laughter and clowns will invade the city of Matanzas until June 25th with the start today, at 3:00 p.m. at the gates of the Sauto Theater, of the Narices Rojas Clown Season.
Designed to dignify the figure of the clown and celebrate the Puppet Street, a socio-cultural space that motivated the creation of this clown event, Narices Rojas summons companies and artists that work the figure of the clown from their poetics.
The twenty-third edition of the meeting becomes a timely celebration for the 61st anniversary of the host group, Teatro Papalote, the 330th anniversary of the foundation of the city of Matanzas, the 160th anniversary of the Sauto Theater, National Monument and the 20th anniversary of Teatro La Proa.
Specialists of this scenic modality are already in the city to offer the public their nice and instructive proposals and their knowledge so that this art is enhanced. This year’s edition brings together new and old friends, who will work both in theaters outside the province and in other institutions in Matanzas city.
Teatro Tuyo, Pálpito Teatro and El Guiñol de Cienfuegos, among other groups, most of them as an extension, will join the Matanzas Papalote, El Mirón Cubano, Teatro de las Estaciones, the children’s musical theater company Vida and the socio-cultural project Reparadores de Sueños to fill the city of rivers and bridges with colors and joy.
Theater halls, the Plaza de la Vigía and the Sauto Theater, among other cultural institutions of the territory, will host the presentations. The 23rd edition of the Red Noses Clown Season is sponsored by Teatro Papalote, founding group and host of the event, Sauto Theater and the Provincial Council of Performing Arts.
As a novelty of the event this 2023, the Little Reprises Contest will be held, with a special category dedicated to children and young people.
From today until June 25th, a colorful troupe of artists will take to the Athens of Cuba to, in the diversity of their repertoires, approach it with the rigor demanded by the theater. This will be an excellent opportunity to once again dignify the wonderful, complex and beautiful art of clowning in Cuba.
