Mirror Dance (Episode #204)
KQED Life: Mon, Mar 26, 2012 -- 8:00 PM
The story of Cuban twin sisters, Margarita and Ramona de Saa. Once inseparable, the former ballerinas have been separated for 40 years, but continue to share a passion for dance. The documentary tells how the two sisters embrace ballet, family and life in two contrasting cultural and political environments: Cuba and the United States. Set within the context of the hostile relationship between the two countries, this program focuses on the twins' story of division, difference and ongoing efforts at reconciliation. The documentary follows the twins as they grow up in the turbulent 1950's Havana, as they excel as ballerinas, as they fall in love and marry men with conflicting political beliefs, and as they painfully separate in 1964. After wrestling for many years with painful memories of her departure, Margarita finally returns to her homeland.
