10 Million
Join us on this heartfelt quest as we watch a piece of the documentary that illustrates the reaction to 10 Million, a theater piece that addresses a highly sensitive topic and deep wound for many… specifically the Cuban-American community. We will have the pleasure of engaging in open dialogue with the Director of the play as well as some of the cast members.
10 Million is a portrayal of a generation, an autobiographical theater piece by Carlos Celdrán (Winner of the Cuban National Theater Award 2016), depicting his experience of being a young boy growing up in the tumultuous aftermath of Fidel Castro’s revolution in Cuba.
Torn between his communist mother and alienated middle-class father, he seeks to find his own way in a world turned upside-down by history.
10 Million, awarded the Cuban Critic Award 2017, was conceived as a personal diary and took almost a decade to develop into a stage production. Finally, in 2016, not long after Cuba and the United States re established diplomatic relations, Argos Teatro premiered 10 Million in Havana.
The performance unleashed dormant emotions from its audience.
In an environment of apparent openness, Celdrán questions the past, its promises, its people, its political campaigns, and its decisions. He revives a controversial time for the Cuban people and awakens them to the possibilities of the present.
