    Havana Divas

    S. Louisa WEI 2018 Hong Kong Documentary color 91min Cantonese/Spanish/En DCP
    Caridad and Georgina learned the art of Cantonese Opera in 1930s Havana. Although both of them were only children of their parents, they became sisters on stage. Throughout the 1940s, Caridad toured all Cuban cities as one of the leading actresses of the opera troupe. Georgina quitted opera to study in college, but her study was interrupted by Castro’s 1959 revolution. After well into their sixties, the two sisters tried to perform Cantonese Opera again. Will they find their stage and audience?
