International Book Fair Over in Sancti Spiritus

The 19th International Book Fair was closed in the central Cuban province of Sancti Spiritus with a play on the book Paquelé by local writer Julio Llanes. The play, which was taken to the stage by the Garabato theater project, recreated some of the book’s passages.

The play, which was taken to the stage by the Garabato theater project led by Jose Meneses, recreated some of the book’s passages. This book, dedicated to younger people, was re-edited this year and was sold in a very peculiar activity.

The book fair closing ceremony was also attended by Trinidad’s Folkloric Ballet and a group of children who are being trained to become folkloric dancers.

Another special moment was the presentation made by Rigoberto Rodriguez Entenza of the book Género, ideología e identidad en las poetisas espirituanas, by Yanetsy Pino, when the participants enjoyed a combination of plastic arts with a performance
entitled El pan nuestro de cada día.

The event was officially closed in Sancti Spiritus with 10 strokes of the bell in the Provincial Museum to mark the 10th anniversary of local Luminaria publishing house and to call local residents to the next book fair.
