Ballet de Lizt Alfonso - Vida (Life) Part I Jan-2008

"Vida"(Life) is the latest production of Lizt Alfonso, with excellent reviews in Canada in its presentations during 2007, that made Lizt Alfonso receive this year 3 nominations for the "Dora" awards from the Toronto Aliance for the Scenic Arts (Best New Musical Show, Best Direction, and Best Choreography; the first two shared with Canadian Kelly Robinson).
"Vida" inaugurated the 2008 performances season of the Ballet de Lizt Alfonso (BLA) at the Mella theater in Havana...these are PROOFS images covering 5 live performances I shot as an assignment for BLA...in two of them my son José Victor Gavilondo(18) assisted me, using A 75-300 mm for details and close-ups...Omara Portuondo (Buena Vista Social Club) and L Valdés (Síntesis) had the main singer roles...main female and male dancing roles rotated...clothing designs and some scenographic details changed from one performance to the other, always in pursuit of perfection....
