HAVANA, Cuba, Jan 11(ACN) The Cuban Institute of Cinema Art and Industry (ICAIC) informed that, due to the epidemiological situation in Havana, the functions programmed in the cinemas are suspended.

Consequently, several companies have announced the cessation of their functions, such is the case of Mitos Teatro, with its play Player, which debuted this Friday on the stages of the Sala Adolfo Llauradó and was to remain on the bill throughout January.
Likewise, Oficio de Isla, under the direction of Osvaldo Doimeadiós, cancelled its functions, as well as El Ciervo Encantado, which proposed La Anunciación at its headquarters, with artistic and general direction by Nelda Castillo.
