More information
"Tales from the mountaintop" is a collaborative audiovisual project involving 30 individuals of Cuban origin who reside in the vicinity of the Sierra Maestra mountains, a historically significant location in the Cuban Revolution. These inhabitants, now living in challenging conditions, will be invited to recreate the sonic landscape of revolutionary feats using objects and materials found in their surroundings. This technique, known as Foley Art, will enable them to mimic natural sounds and key actions of the revolution. The project aims to expose the gap between past political ideology and the current reality of disillusionment and decay, creating a contrast between what is seen and what is heard in a context of outdated ethical and aesthetic values. "Tales from the mountaintop" places the viewer in the midst of two realities: one social and one political, represented by the current inhabitants of a place marked by the failure of a societal project.

"Relatos desde la cima" es un proyecto audiovisual colaborativo que involucra a 30 personas de origen cubano que viven en las cercanías de las montañas de la Sierra Maestra, un lugar históricamente significativo en la Revolución Cubana. Estos habitantes, que ahora viven en condiciones difíciles, serán invitados a recrear el paisaje sonoro de las hazañas revolucionarias utilizando objetos y materiales encontrados en sus entornos. Esta técnica, conocida como Foley Art, les permitirá imitar sonidos naturales y acciones clave de la revolución. El proyecto busca exponer la brecha entre la ideología política pasada y la realidad actual de desencanto y decadencia, creando un contraste entre lo que se ve y lo que se escucha en un contexto de valores éticos y estéticos desfasados. "Relatos desde la cima" coloca al espectador en medio de dos realidades: una social y otra política, representadas por los habitantes actuales de un lugar marcado por el fracaso de un proyecto de sociedad.

"Relats des de la cima" és un projecte audiovisual col·laboratiu que implica 30 persones d'origen cubà que resideixen prop de les muntanyes de la Sierra Maestra, un lloc històricament significatiu en la Revolució Cubana. Aquests habitants, ara en condicions difícils, seran convidats a recrear el paisatge sonor de les fites revolucionàries utilitzant objectes i materials trobats en els seus voltants. Aquesta tècnica, coneguda com a Foley Art, els permetrà imitar sons naturals i accions clau de la revolució. El projecte busca exposar la bretxa entre la ideologia política passada i la realitat actual de desenganys i decadència, creant un contrast entre el que es veu i el que s'escolta en un context de valors ètics i estètics desfasats. "Relats des de la cima" col·loca l'espectador enmig de dues realitats: una social i una política, representades pels habitants actuals d'un lloc marcat pel fracàs d'un projecte societal.
