A la Cuba del 2022 per ser revolucionari cal embrutar-se les mans. Rosibel, la seva filla i el gos de la família, resisteixen al setge d’una torba enardida que s’ha congregat davant de casa seva per repudiar-la. El que comença com un tradicional míting de repudi contra una mare cubana dissident finalment fa visible la lletra petita del contracte de la Revolució Cubana.

Marco Castillo

Marco A. Castillo is one of the founders of the artistic collective Los Carpinteros, and his work is imbued with an interest in Cuba’s history and the social and cultural changes in the country after the Revolution. Castillo has extensively researched architecture, design and sculpture, which are fundamental parts of his artistic practice as he tries to create installations, drawings and sculptures that relate to space and negotiate between the functional and the non-functional, often expressed in a humorous way. Even in his first works, it is apparent that Castillo’s work is one of the most important and internationally influential of the Latin American continent of the last twenty years.
