Cuban Theater company Teatro Caribeño will premiere again "El venerable", during the coming week, in co-production with the company Siyaj, from Guadalupe Island, inspired in a Yoruba (religion and mythology) legend with the Orishas (Yoruba gods) Orula and Eleggua as main characters.
Orula, the god of divination, plays the character of the Grand Lord, and Eleggua is the owner of all the roads and doors in the world. They are both portrayed in the theatre performance by humans who play those main characters. Both confront a fight for power.
The character of Orula is performed by Guadalupe actor Gilbert Laumord, who is considered one of the most outstanding actors of his generation, and also a dancer, musician and theatre director.
The character of Eleggua is performed by Cuban actor Nelson Gonzalez, who is part of the first generation of graduated of the Istitute of Superior Art, in 1981, with an outstanding trajectory in cinema, theatre and TV.
