In the last century, on several continents, there have been various political transformations that have been described as “revolutions.” What exactly does a revolution entail? What is a revolutionary? What are the long term effects of revolutions on personal and political relationships? This talk investigates shifting historical definitions and the principal effects of revolutions as perceived by several Cuban/Cuban-American playwrights. The work of these Cuban playwrights boldly instigates further discussion about revolutions and their enduring ramifications in order to envision a future, a time after or beyond radical transformations.
