Havana - The famous Cuban children''s theater company La Colmenita received the highest honors in four cities where they performed in their recent national tour.

Sources of the group, created and directed by Carlos Cremata, today confirmed new awards received by a group that has performed at various stages in the world.

The provinces of Granma, Holguín and Sancti Spiritus granted their coat of arms to the company chosen by UNICEF as a global ambassador of goodwill, for its artistic and inclusive work.

In turn, the city of Ciego de Avila gave them the replica of the Machete of Colonel Simon Reyes, the highest distinction of that central territory, where they performed before some 200,000 spectators.

The show included texts by authors such as José Martí, Mirta Aguirre and Samuel Feijoo, and served as a tribute to the anniversaries of main children and youth organizations in Cuba.
