OMNI-EXPRESS
LA MULTIPLICACION
Omni-Express is, inside Omni-Zonafranca, group dedicated to do experimental concerts shows.
Omni-Zonafranca group is a multi-disciplinary group unique in Cuba, and very unusual in Latin America. We engage total art: unit of all kind of art. Artistic results of our group are strongly supported by members individual creation: literary, painting, music and sound experimentation, a big documentation about the group public performances turned into video-arts, films, photography, design and fatten, concert experimental shows, all art works renovated and pondered by prestigious critics inside and outside the country. By 16 years of existence, creation have been shared with artists and groups for more than 20 countries.
Omni-Express for this tour it's integrated by:
Amaury Pacheco D Omni(The republic meditator)
David D Omni(The Freehoper)
and Luis Eligio D Omni(The Diplomat)
We are a spectacular threesome that charismatically mix poetry, songs, music, dance, performance, films, creating collective reverie with our presentations and shows.
This we have made it in front of multinational audience.
During our tour we want to include all kind of artists to our performances.
Faces, sounds and voices from Havana. Off-screen and with complete honesty, Cubans tell us about their idea of freedom. "It is a lie I have repeated so often, I have started to believe it: I am free." They are very well aware of the restrictions placed on them as human beings: "I can do whatever I want, but only within a clearly defined context, place and time." Public enemy number one is Yoani Sánchez, a female blogger who exposes the nature of the system in her articles. Her aim with her blog, Generación Y, is to overcome her apathy and silence. "Freedom is the freedom to scream in public that you are not free," she says. Many desperate Cubans have braved the hazardous crossing to the United States. But in the words of poet Konstantinos P. Kavafis you will always be walking the streets of Havana wherever you go - you can't shake off the past. The peaceful, beautifully framed street scenes and exceptional soundtrack supplement the stories told in this production by Baden-Württemberg Film Academy student Andrea Roggon. The people shown in the film are not those speaking. We watch them as they get crammed onto the bus, or wash their hair. We see puddles on the street, rolling waves, like mirrors.
