Nostalgia

Nostalgia was first presented in April 2017 at Fabrica de Arte Havana, Cuba as part of El Acercamiento supported by CalArts Center for New Performance.

Cuban artist Aissa Santiso and Cuban American artist Marissa Chibas have collaborated on each creating a video reflection with the meeting ground being the final audio recording of legendary Cuban political figure Eddy Chibas, whose final speech ended in his suicide. Aissa’s grandmother was a follower of Chibas, and he was Marissa’s uncle. The artists have used this mutually important Cuban to reflect on nostalgia, Cuban history, loss, and legacy.
