Amparo

Amparo, an immersive theatrical performance written by Vanessa Garcia (artist) and produced by Havana Club, is inspired by the true story of Cuba's Arechabala family. The work showcases Jose Arechabala's original arrival on Cuban soil, the family's founding of Havana Club Rum, and the Cuban government's eventual seizing of the company followed by the Arechabalas' forced exile. The show debuted to limited audiences in Miami and New York, and is expected to expand to greater audiences in 2019.
