Again the Retazos Dance Company, directed by Isabel Bustos, the Office of the Historian of the City and the Theater Center come together to animate the International Encounter of Dances in Urban Landscapes, Old Havana: A Moving City.

It is understandable that such a phenomenon may have taken hold of the environment. As it is recognized by the Cultural Program that is edited every month, the heritage treasured in this place interacts with the event also known as the Street Dance Festival and it brings the public closer to "a combination of aesthetic manifestations inspired in history, architecture and urban design."

The walls filled with the taste of other centuries, the plazas and parks, the paving stones that mean the prints of so many steps will welcome dancers from eighteen countries, among them Spain, France, Norway, Brazil, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, Italy, Mexico, Serbia, Sierra Leone, Japan, Denmark, Colombia and Guatemala.

It will be a party with a multidisciplinary character, to which for maybe the only time is added the coincidence of a Caribbean Dance Biennale expected for those same days and which will be held close by and where many personalities related to that specialty will participate as guests.

We should recognize how much will this associated visit mean: festival directors, critics, producers, choreographers, dancers, all of them ready to enjoy an artistic universe that turns "the passers by into true main characters of the shows."
