New Majority's Marie Morgan visited Cuba in March to film this special report on the state of the arts there. She found that the arts and the revolution are closely allied there; but, unlike many other Communist regimes, the Cuban government has not imposed ideological chains on the performers and creators. Abstract art and experimental electronic music flourish alongside traditional arts in a revolution that did not end when guns were put down, says Miss Morgan. Interviews include those with Alicia Alonso, distinguished ballerina, who heads the National Ballet of Cuba; painters Raoul Martinez; ex-American writer Edmundo Desnos; who wrote "Memories of Underdevelopment"; composers Leo Brouwer and Juan Branco; and Ramiro Guerra, artistic director of the Modern Ballet of Cuba. On the same program: A look at youth on the farm of Western Canada, and their hopes for the future.
