"I should clarify that when I speak of theatre, I speak of history, culture and the personal roles we choose to play; at the same time, when I say desire, we're not just talking about the temptations of the external world […] of erotic desires and a natural sensuality that forms part of my own idiosyncrasy as a Cuban, but about the desire for beauty, for an improvement in the human condition, for complete justice, truth and peace."

–Manuel López Oliva
