September 10, 2023

In an exciting collaboration, renowned Cuban actors Yía Caamaño and Ulyk Anello are preparing to present a passionate theatrical production in the vibrant city of Miami. After having shared the stage in the successful telenovela "Asuntos pendientes", this pair of talented artists is ready to captivate the public with their new production, titled "Lear".

This fascinating theatrical project will take place at the Sandrell Rivers Theatre in Miami, from October 26 to 28, according to the exciting announcement by Yía Caamaño on her Instagram account.

What makes this adaptation of "Lear" even more intriguing is its focus on the experience of Cuban exile in Miami. According to the description shared by the actress in her Instagram post, the work is a "rewriting of William Shakespeare's original", maintaining the central idea but recontextualizing it in the present. This work delves into the period following emigration, after forgetting, exploring not only the decision to leave and the distance, but the life of the exile once their story has ended.

The direction of this captivating work falls to Erom Jimmy, a talented director who will undoubtedly bring life to this unique reinterpretation of a literary classic. In addition to Yía Caamaño and Ulyk Anello, the production will feature performances by Dairín Valdés and Verónica Abruza, promising an exceptional cast that will surely impress the audience.

As the premiere date approaches, Yía Caamaño has shared images of the ongoing rehearsals, showing the dedication and commitment of the entire artistic team in the preparation of this production. The photos reveal the passion and intensity with which these talented actors are approaching their roles, which further increases anticipation among followers and theater lovers in Miami.

It is worth noting that Ulyk Anello arrived in Miami in October 2022, a move that was closely followed, since before his departure from Cuba, he expressed his discontent with ruler Migue Díaz-Canel on social media, which attracted the attention of the official press.

On the other hand, Yía Caamaño, in a recent interview, shared her feelings about the payment she received for her leading role in the Cuban telenovela "Asuntos pendientes", in which both actors collaborated. Her comments reflected her discontent with the economic compensation she received for her work, which highlights the challenges that artists sometimes face in the entertainment industry.
