Alicia, who is 95 years old, continues to rule and direct the Ballet Nacional de Cuba even though she is nearly blind and has trouble walking. Her partners always have to be in the exact place she expect them to be, and she uses lights in different parts of the stage to guide herself. Photo: culturajoven.es.
