Madison Playwright’s work premiers in Camagüey

Aug 31st, 2010 | By Scott Fullerton | Category: Events

Last November, the work of two Camagüeyano artists was exhibited at Edgewood College’s DeRicci Gallery under the sponsorship of MCSCA. In early August, the artistic exchange between our sister cities moved in a southerly direction when the staging of Bob Skloot’s play IF THE WHOLE BODY DIES: RAPHAEL LEMKIN AND THE TREATY AGAINST GENOCIDE made its Spanish-language premiere at the Escuela de Artes in Camaguey.

Skloot’s play, written in 2006 and translated last year by Bertha Pancorvo, was passed along to a small theatre company, Grupo Teatral Teatro, by Orestes Larios, one of the two artists who visited Madison last year. The company’s director, Onel Ramirez, agreed to produce the one-act play, and gave it its first full staging; in previous appearances in the U.S. and Europe, the play had only been given staged readings. Prior to the premiere, Skloot delivered a lecture about the subject of the play at the Galeria Larios.

Lemkin was the great international lawyer who coined the word genocide and who wrote the treaty against genocide that was ratified by the United Nations in 1951. Today, Lemkin’s name and importance are not well recognized, and the audience’s enthusiastic reception of the play in Camaguey also displayed a great curiosity to know more about Lemkin. A number of Cuban journalists attended the lecture and performance, and later wrote stories about Lemkin, and cited the Madison-Camaguey linkage and the importance of the mutual artistic exchanges that have lately characterized our cities’ relationship.

While in Camagüey, Skloot toured other performing spaces, and worked with the acting company in its final preparations for the premiere. “I was very satisfied with the performance,” Skloot said. “Seeing the play come alive in Spanish was wonderful, and the actors and director worked successfully to bring the play to life. It was both impressive and moving.” Skloot, a retired professor of theatre at the University of Wisconsin, was invited back by Ramirez and troupe to work again with the company.
