			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>(For more information about the play or future productions, write to the playwright at: rskloot [at] wisc.edu  .)</p>

<p>Camagüey, Como parte del proyecto de intercambio cultural “Mentes y manos  unidas por el Arte”, se estrena en esta ciudad,  la obra Aunque todo el  cuerpo muera, escrita  por Robert Skloot, destacado dramaturgo y  profesor de la Universidad de Wisconsin, en el estado norteamericano de  Madison.</p>
<p>Con la puesta en escena de la pieza, se consolidan  los lazos de hermandad, suscritos hace 15 años entre las ciudades de <a href="http://www.cadenagramonte.cu/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=8513:camagueey&amp;catid=137:municipios&amp;Itemid=142" target="_blank">Camagüey</a> y Madison;  por lo que  Robert Skloot  llegará aquí para la conclusión  del montaje de la obra y el estreno con  el grupo Teatral Teatro,  dirigido por el actor y dramaturgo Onel Ramírez Morgado.</p>
<p>En la   obra Aunque todo el cuerpo muera,  concebida en un acto, Skloot, parte  del origen de la palabra “Genocidio”, reconocida por las Naciones Unidas  luego de terminada la Segunda Guerra Mundial.</p>
<p>La pieza, por  tanto, tiene como objetivo también  reconocer a Rafael Lemkin, autor de  la Convención para la Prevención y la Sanción del delito de genocidio.</p>
<p>La  historia narrada por Skloot, condena el fascismo, y los crímenes de  guerra, y rinde tributo a quienes entregaron sus vidas en la lucha  contra el genocidio o fueron víctimas de él.<br />
<strong><br />
¿Por qué se estrena en Camagüey la obra del norteamericano Robert Skloot?</strong></p>
<p>Los  antecedentes están en la visita realizada, en noviembre de 2009 por los  reconocidos artistas de la plástica Orestes Larios Zaak y Gregorio  Pérez Escobar, a la ciudad de Madison, Estados Unidos, donde exhibieron  sus obras.</p>
<p>Comenzó así el programa de intercambio cultural entre  las ciudades de Madison y Camagüey, con  el objetivo de fortalecer los  lazos de amistad suscritos hace 15 años, entre los Alcaldes de las dos  ciudades, y ampliarlos  a otras manifestaciones del arte.</p>
<p>El Dr.  Robert Skloot, -anfitrión en noviembre de 2009 de la visita de los  pintores camagüeyanos- con una vasta experiencia educativa y autor de  varias obras puestas en el teatro, propuso entregar la pieza para su  estreno en esta provincia a un grupo que trabajara el realismo poético o  sintético como estética.</p>
<p>Las primeras coordinaciones se realizan a través de la Filial  Camagüeyana de Artes Escénicas de la <a href="http://www.cadenagramonte.cu/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=7205:union-de-escritores-y-artistas-de-cuba-uneac&amp;catid=119:organizaciones-cubanas&amp;Itemid=161" target="_blank">Unión de Escritores y Artistas de Cuba (UNEAC)</a>,  con la primera actriz Reina Ayala y ella  con el director Onel Ramírez,  y ambos estudian el texto y la posibilidad de realizar el montaje de la  obra, cargada de dramatismo y de un rico antecedente histórico.</p>
<p>De  esta manera, el Grupo Teatral Teatro asume el reto y el artista de la  plástica Orestes Larios Zaak se convierte en gestor de este proyecto,  que ya confirmado, estrenará la pieza  “Aunque todo el cuerpo muera”, en  la Academia de las Artes de la <a href="http://www.cadenagramonte.cu/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=8400:tinajones&amp;catid=120:definiciones&amp;Itemid=161" target="_blank">Ciudad de los Tinajones</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Lazos entre Madison y Camagüey</strong></p>
<p>Hace  15 años se iniciaron las relaciones entre las ciudades de Madison y  Camagüey; período caracterizado por el intercambio, la entrega de  donativos a instituciones médicas, la visita de estudiantes   norteamericanos, quienes se han  vinculado a  labores constructivas en  varias instituciones de arte, la realización de encuentros culturales y  el apoyo a la Sociedad Hebrea de la provincia agramontina.</p>
<p>Con el  fin de celebrar los tres lustros del hermanamiento fueron invitados a  realizar y exponer sus obras, en Madison,  los artistas Orestes Larios  Zaak y Gregorio Pérez Escobar.</p>
<p>El apoyo de la Asociación de  Ciudades Hermanadas, a la que  pertenece el Dr. Robert Skloot y cuyo  esfuerzo personal ha sido permanentemente reconocido,  propicia la  preparación de tan exitosos proyectos.</p>
<p>En esta ocasión la ciudad  de Camagüey recibirá su visita para la conclusión del montaje de la  obra y su estreno en el contexto del área de las Américas, hoy con  asunto de plena vigencia que retoma la lucha contra el fascismo, los  crímenes de guerra y el genocidio, en momentos donde se reconoce la  constante violación del derecho internacional, y el mundo vive bajo el  inminente peligro de una guerra nuclear.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This project, funded by the Christopher Reynolds Foundation and sponsored by the MCSCA, aims to connect students from throughout the Madison and greater Wisconsin community with children living in the Gran Humedal del Norte region of central Cuba.  Both Wisconsin and the Gran Humedal hosts important breeding populations of Sandhill Cranes, which can be used as a common denominator by which children learn about environmental issues facing both countries.  The Cuban Sandhill Crane is an endangered and endemic subspecies of Sandhill Crane, found only in Cuba and the neighboring municipality of the Isle of Youth.   Since the early 1900s until now, Wisconsin&#8217;s sandhill cranes have been part of a remarkable conservation story &#8211; one which has spanned a scope of rarity to healthy population levels.  Both countries can use these stories to not only learn about and appreciate their own, unique environments, but also their own personal presence in it and the importance of international partnership in solving conservation challenges.</p>
<p>Our project site is currently under construction and we invite you to visit the Madison-Camaguey Sister City Association&#8217;s website often for new developments.  <strong>We hope you will enjoy getting to know and taking part in this new and exciting educational adventure!</strong></p>

<p>At Cardinal Bar on Tuesday, May 4, 2010<br />
Starting with program at 5:30 PM</p>
<p>A Celebration of Sistering and International Solidarity is a tribute to Madison’s sister city relationships with Arcatao (El Salvador), Camaguey (Cuba) and the special sister relationship between WORT-FM, our own Listener Sponsored Radio, and Radio Victoria in Cabanas, El Salvador.</p>
<p>Join us on Tuesday, May 4 for an evening of food, live &amp; dj music, dancing, stories from recent visits and camaraderie. The program begins at 5:30 pm with an update on current conditions in Cuba by recent visitors to sister city Camaguey, followed by a report from the frontlines of the struggle against environmentally devastating gold-mining operations in Central America.</p>
<p>Stay for the music of Bonobo Secret Handshake, who will take the stage at 6:30 pm and provide two sets of groovy dance music, plus the Brazilian and international sounds of Dr. Beat on the turntables in between sets and after 9.</p>
<p>It’s all happening on Tuesday, May 4 at the Cardinal! A $10 donation (with a sliding scale) will be asked at the door.</p>
