YULI
Thursday, November 14 at 7pm
Directed by Iciar Bollain
Not Rated, 115 min.
Yuli is the nickname given to Carlos Acosta by his father, Pedro, who considers him the son of Ogun, an African god and a fighter. As a child Yuli avoided discipline and education, learning from the streets of an impoverished and abandoned Havana. His father, however, has other ideas, and knowing that his son has a natural talent for dance, sends him to the National Ballet School of Cuba. Despite his repeated escapes and initial poor behaviour, the boy is inevitably drawn to the world of dance, and begins to shape his legendary career from a young age, becoming the first black dancer to be cast in some of the most prestigious ballet roles, originally written for white dancers, in companies such as the Houston Ballet and the Royal Ballet in London.
Presented with Park City Library as part of the Art on Screen series, underwritten by Julie Hopkins, Keller Williams Real Estate.
