Evolutionary InvolutionEvolutionary Involution by Taimy Ramos and Alberto Gonzalez Batista
Setback in the progress or evolution of a process. In the past we covered our hands with soil to sow. We used to repair and reuse and lived in harmony, humans and nature. With masterful subtlety they created and introduced consumerism to our lives and this brought the normalization of the act of buying as a social concept and the erroneous idea that a greater number of material possessions is directly proportional to the level of happiness, losing all respect and gratitude for what that the earth gives us. We have become addicted to a virtual and superficial existence, totally isolated from reality. Judging and intimidating others is a source of daily entertainment, thus giving way to this state of collective apathy that we attribute to society, when in reality: you are society, I am society: We are society! Once we internalize that each individual has an essential implication in the evolution of change, we will eradicate this cycle of Evolutionary Involution from the history of humanity. Taimy Ramos was raised in Pinar del Río, Cuba and graduated from the National School of Dance in Havana in 2008 becoming a company member of Havana-based Danzabierta. With DanzAbierta, she taught and performed in several international tours in major dance festivals around Europe and America until 2016 when she moved to the US. Since then she has danced, taught and choreographed for Hedwig Dances, Concert Dance Inc and Loud Bodies in Chicago. In 2020 she decided to follow her own path as a freelance artist and created several pieces like: A feeling called Hugo, A flor de Piel (Skin Deep) and 4 walls & 1 me.
Alberto Gonzalez Batista grew up in Holguín Cuba and graduated from The National School of Art in 2004, becoming a member of Codanza for 4 years. In 2008 he moved to the Capital and started working for Danza Contemporánea de Cuba as a leading dancer, participating in several international tours to: England, Mexico, Hungary, Poland, Spain, Netherland, Australia, Alemania, Suiza, Francia, Escocía, Luxemburgo, Colombia and the USA.

Iglesias, Juan Kruz, Mats Ek, Itzik Galili, Pedro Ruiz, Jan Likens, Kenneth Kvarstrom, Susana Pous and Jan Bartosek. In 2015 he left Danza Contemporánea de Cuba and joined Racatan Company for a short period of time.Alberto also performed and toured internationally with Havana-based DanzAbierta, until 2016 when he moved to the US where he danced and taught for Hedwig Dances and Concert Dance Inc until 2020.

(Not) To Be ReproducedCreated and performed by
Carlos Fabián Medina "(Not) To Be Reproduced" is a performance that uses both dance and theatrical improvisation to create short representations (or reproductions) of the actor’s personal experiences.

Sarajeva (3'42" Spain)
I see the time passing by, moving away, moving away. Now yes and now no, and then I don't know, like a constant farewell. On the way to more caresses and other unforeseen nudity; I couldn't tell if we are at the starting point or going through places and signs that want to stay forever in the window. But something always returns through the mist: a place, a moment, and myself. Director Writer and Producer Raimundo Miguel Morte González / Key Cast Eva Maria Yufra / Music Architerraneo A Chair is a Chair (4'34" US)
An invitation turned confession captures the secret and spiritual side of meaningful objects. Using excerpts from letters in the book Amado Señor by Argentinian author Pablo Katchadjian, A chair is a chair is a mystical study of a chair and other objects by window light. The shape of a chair, our thoughts of the chair, its front, its back, its side, its past and present, its feelings and our experience as a chair become personal and intimate. We hear her witnessing a conversation. Her past amplifies and so do minimal gestures in the presence of natural light. A chair is a chair was filmed while in residency at Cucalorus Film Festival in Wilmington, North Carolina, 2018 and edited in 2020, during long periods of reflection and observation afforded by the lock-down. Director Roxana Barba LEMUS (3'59" Cuba)
La calle de tu infancia y un recuerdo recurrente de vergüenza y desnudez que te corrompe el alma. Volver allí, a la mujer fragmentada, al sentimiento de desintegración y de pérdida, para reconstruirse. Encontrarse con pasos ya dados, caminar sobre pasos ya dados, no poder escapar. Volver volver volver, y coquetear con la locura. Dirección y producción Ixchel Casado Pérez y Lía Tamame Safonts Fotografía: Lía Tamame Safonts Edición: Ixchel Casado Pérez Corrección de color Gerard Martínez Rodríguez Coreografía e interprete Thais Doimeadios Música original Pepe Gavilondo CARMEN (4'36" US)

Júrame (9'01" US/Cuba)
In this collaboration between choreographer and dancer Rosario Cárdenas and experimental filmmaker Dinorah de Jesús Rodríguez, inspired in a series of recordings by Mexican soprano Hilda Licona Acosta dating back to the 1940s and 50s, a mature woman engages in a nostalgic dialogue with her own body, uncovering the reservoir of emotions, sensations, and erotic power that lies therein. Concept, performance, wardrobe: Rosario Cárdenas Direction, Editing, Post Production, Sound Design: Dinorah de Jesús Rodríguez Cinematography: Dinorah de Jesús Rodríguez, Martiza Deschapelles, Ricardo Rodríguez Gómez YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO DESTROY ME (6'42" CUBA)
Yo te podría decir muchas cosas pero… No sé como vas a tomar mi audio Director and Performer Cesar Saavedra NYX (3'55" US)
NYX is a film that explores an interdimensional encounter between wandering entities and an abandoned bunker. Through missed connections and crossing paths, the wanderers find themselves individually traveling through a sacred location hoping to encounter a greater purpose for their explorations. Using their curiosity and freedom, they discover that their journeys are interwoven across separate dimensions of space and time. Directed & Performed by Miami Movement Collective (Enrique Villacreses, Maya Billig, Cecilia Benitez, Natalia Marie Rocamonde) Edited by Enrique Villacreses Music "Night Bells" by Lotus DOLORES (7'24" US)
Dressed in her clothing and using improvised, character driven gesture and choreography, three dancers channel the complex yet playful spirit of Dolores Eugenia.
