In May, I went to Cuba for the 21st ASSITEJ World Congress and Performing Arts Festival. It took place in Havana from May 24 to June 1.
ASSITEJ International is an organisation that unites individuals, organisations and theatres throughout the world who make theatre and performing arts for children and young people. It was established in 1965 and has national centres around the world.
Earlier this year I was sent the information to apply to attend the world congress and performing arts festival. I applied not expecting anything but was one of the lucky ones selected to attend. Being passionate about the performing arts and Cuba being one of the places on my bucket list, I jumped at the opportunity to be a part of something amazing. I was the only Guyanese to attend.
