Havana - The world premiere of the Cuban-U.S. project "The light in Cuban eyes" exhibited a beautiful combination of arts: music, contemporary dance, ballet, photography, lighting design, costume and magic of a theater as the Marti.

The 12th Biennial of Havana was used as a pretext yesterday for the presentation of an initiative sponsored by U.S. researcher Madeleine Plonsker, an admirer of art of this island that compiled in a book a series of images by young Cuban photographers.

The title of that work was extended to the project, because Plonsker summoned great Cuban pianist Frank Fernandez as a composer, to U.S. choreographer Pedro Ruiz, young dancers from the "Fernando Alonso" National Ballet School, and the contemporaneous company Endedans.

The mixture of those factors left the audience wanting at the Marti Theater in this capital, a one-hour show was dissolved in four sighs, the first of them caused by Fernandez himself on his piano because his mastery goes beyond technique, with a charm close to hypnosis.

The awarded concert pianist performed the two most famous composition of Ave Maria, that of Charles Gounod-Juan Sebastian Bach, and that of Franz Schubert, the privilege of the experience is indescribable.

Meanwhile, Ruiz created a dynamic choreography and did not renounce the classical technique or musical passages of Afro-Cuban rhythms, almost always associated to a more folk dance style.

The merit lies in having broken a successfully tradition, because the choreography filled each bar and ballet students provided a spectacular nature to the performance with an impeccable execution of complex steps and an unusual displacement speed in classicism.

An instant with Mozart was also performed (although not live) by Fernandez, and notes that "The light in Cuban eyes" allowed to show its magnificence as an interpreter and composer.
