‘One of the finest journalists writing today.’ – Naomi Klein

In a carefully curated selection of stories and songs, writer Michael McCaughan teases apart the tangled threads of the Cuban Revolution, still alive after 65 years in power. What is the connection between Carmen Miranda and Fidel Castro? What is the gap between myth and reality in Cuba today?

In a unique reflection on the Cuban Revolution, seven stories and seven pieces of music grapples with the complexity and contradictions of a revolution, providing a window into the revolution and a mirror out of which we see our own reflected desires.

There will be an opportunity for discuss the performance after the show, which lasts 70 minutes.

Michael McCaughan is a writer, researcher, broadcaster and activist who lived and worked in Latin America for almost three decades
