Beyond the Postcard: Cuba’s Untold Stories reveals a Cuba rarely seen beyond images of vintage cars, palm trees, and nostalgia. Beneath the surface lies a landscape of memory, resilience, silence, and stories often left untold.
Inspired by Cuba, Qué Linda es Cuba by Hebert Poll Gutiérrez (Primigenios Publishing House, Miami, 2020), this multidisciplinary experience brings together film, puppetry, animation, poetry, and spoken word to explore identity, migration, cultural resilience, and the human search for belonging.
More than a book presentation, it is an invitation to reflect, respond, and participate. Through The Wall of Voices, audiences contribute memories, thoughts, and questions, becoming part of a collective story that continues beyond the performance.
Guided by storyteller Diane Din Ebongue, this journey moves between page and stage, memory and imagination, revealing a story that is not only Cuban, but deeply human.
