In “Mataperra,” dancer and climber Yelda del Carmen aspires to make a mark in history by becoming the first Cuban woman to conquer three legendary ascents in Viñales, Cuba. She returns to her homeland to embark on a quest that drives her to achieve much more than her climbing dreams. Through the total presence and embodied connections of dancing and climbing, she touches the heritage carried in her heart and reaffirms the connections between land, people, movement, creativity, and enduring love in an ever-changing world.
