With a ticket price of 250 pesos, the Cuban Art Factory (FAC) resumes its cultural presentations this Friday night after more than two years closed due to the pandemic.
“What is the cheapest rum you will sell?” a young man interested in accessing the site asked a FAC employee this Friday afternoon. The state worker replied that the Santiago and Habana Club brands would be the cheapest.
The cultural center, near the iron bridge that crosses the Almendares river, is managed by the musician X Alfonso and, before the pandemic, it mainly attracted tourists and artists from the alternative scene who had the resources to pay the price of their tickets. services.
But between the closing of its doors and this opening, there was the Ordering Task that unified the currencies in January 2021 and shook a good part of the Cuban economy, raising inflation and shooting up the price of foreign currency in the informal market. Hence, the big question of this restart night is how much the Art Factory will cost now and which clients will be able to afford it.
The billboard of the first day of reopening includes the presentation of the DJs Tievo and Cusko, artists from the National School of Dance, and Roberto Fonseca and Temperamento.
