From "calle" Vapor to Perseverancia, from San L�zaro to "parque" Trillo, from "callej�n" de Hamel to the Malec�n. Centro Habana is an Indian reservation, a place where geographies and legends, memories and illusions, surreal existences and crude realisms intersect continuously, transforming reality into a transit of time, where history seems to have stopped, yet moves under the skin, hidden, clandestine, a bridgehead between its extraordinary lost beauty and an unresolved present. A journey where every place becomes as deep as a wrinkle, as alive as an ever-open wound. A possible itinerary in an elusive, labyrinthine city, poised between joy and despair, with its destiny suspended, between a cumbersome past and a complicated, perhaps possible, future. (Davide Barilli)Texts by Davide Barilli, Ilaria Campioli, Paolo Simonazzi. Text in English, Italian and Spanish.�
