Luces y duendes

About This Movie

So, 'Luces y duendes' is a fascinating dive into the world of children's theater in Cuba, specifically focusing on La Colmenita. The documentary has this very intimate tone, weaving together personal stories from the founders and those involved. I mean, you get a real sense of how they navigated the complexities of the special period in Cuba, which is quite a backdrop. The interviews with artists like Silvio Rodríguez and Omara Portuondo add a nice touch, giving it depth. And the pacing? It feels good— not rushed, yet engaging enough to keep you invested. It's really the kind of film that showcases resilience and creativity amidst adversity, and that’s what makes it stand out for me.
