Juan Carlos Cremata Malberti,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Respetado cineasta y director de teatro:\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Procuramos, con toda intenci\u00f3n, que el contenido que publicamos en la p\u00e1gina del Club de Amistad Cuba-USA sustituya el lenguaje de la confrontaci\u00f3n por el del juicio razonable y el sentido com\u00fan, pero sin omitir la cr\u00edtica y la disensi\u00f3n, abordando el derecho a opinar desde todas las perspectivas humanas existentes en una sociedad civil. Y las preguntas que le proponemos nos responda se basan \u00fanicamente sobre el concepto de la censura. Son las siguientes: <\/em><\/p>\n

\u00bfEn qu\u00e9 cuant\u00eda cree que\u00a0 afecta la censura a los cubanos, particularmente en los\u00a0 t\u00e9rminos de creaci\u00f3n y manifestaci\u00f3n de la cultura?<\/em><\/p>\n

Toda censura es CASTRANTE (amen de obsoleta, medieval y contrarrevolucionaria) S\u00f3lo que, en lugar de producir contra-tenores (o \u201ccastrados\u201d<\/em> lo cual es tambi\u00e9n enjuiciable), genera impotencia, decepci\u00f3n y sobre todo pone en evidencia el desentendimiento entre los que la ejercen y los que la sufren, y esto no es s\u00f3lo para los cubanos, sino para el mundo entero. Siempre y cuando no se da\u00f1e f\u00edsicamente a nadie, todo el mundo tiene el derecho de decir lo que quiera; as\u00ed como todo el mundo tiene el derecho de escucharlo o no. Hay muchas cosas que a mi no me interesan y no les presto atenci\u00f3n, pero eso no me da derecho alguno a mandar a callar a alguien. Y desde hace mucho tiempo hay personas \u2013 y \u00a0ahora estoy hablando en concreto de nuestro pa\u00eds \u2013 que se arroban el derecho de decidir y discernir qu\u00e9 es lo que los dem\u00e1s debemos pensar, hacer o sentir. Eso es cuestionable y hasta punible, porque va contra un derecho ELEMENTAL de todo ser humano; por muy \u201cequivocadas\u201d que sean sus ideas. La censura es el ejercicio de la fuerza frente a la p\u00e9rdida o la carencia de raz\u00f3n. Es el recurso que ejerce el m\u00e1s poderoso para que no se escuchen m\u00e1s que sus opiniones. Es la condena al ostracismo, al silencio, a la sordera y a la mudez. Es el triunfo de la incomunicaci\u00f3n. Y yo por naturaleza, intento comunicar.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00bfCu\u00e1les considera son los instrumentos m\u00e1s inteligentes a utilizar por los creadores art\u00edsticos para expresar su arte, que no sea la soluci\u00f3n personal de emigrar, en un contexto en que\u00a0 predomina una\u00a0 censura oficial? <\/em><\/p>\n

En mi caso personal, seguir creando. Y en mi pa\u00eds; que es tan m\u00edo como del censor. De todas maneras, esta sociedad est\u00e1 tan enferma, que siempre leer\u00e1 pol\u00edtica hasta en un cuento de hadas. Y si ma\u00f1ana tengo la posibilidad de dirigir art\u00edsticamente una \u201cTribuna Abierta\u201d (cosa que no me interesa en lo absoluto) la gente pensar\u00e1 que me estoy burlando. Pero yo voy a seguir creando. Y si no me dejan, pues encontrar\u00e9 la manera de seguir produciendo; porque es la \u00fanica forma que conozco de sobrevivir. A lo mejor, ir\u00e9 al encuentro de otra manera de hacer y hacer conocer mis cosas. Tampoco emigrar es tan malo, sobre todo, si no hay en ello el uso de la fuerza. Lo que pasa es que en Cuba eso siempre se ha visto de otra forma y por supuesto se ha requete<\/em>politizado. Pero emigra todo el mundo, en todas partes, y podr\u00eda hacerlo ma\u00f1ana mismo si quisiera. S\u00f3lo que no me da la gana de hacerlo. Para emigrar he tenido ocasiones de sobra, pero siempre he regresado, porque lo que me interesa es precisamente producir en mi pa\u00eds, que es donde creo que deben ser cambiadas muchas cosas. Y hay gente que no me quiere, pero hay muchos m\u00e1s que me quieren bien. Quiz\u00e1s ma\u00f1ana me obliguen esos que no me quieren a irme, \u00bfqui\u00e9n sabe? De todas formas dejar Cuba ser\u00eda llevarla siempre conmigo, aunque trate de olvidarlo todo, o mejor dicho, todo aquello que en definitiva debe ser m\u00e1s que olvidado (y lo ser\u00e1 DEFINITIVAMENTE), porque \u00bfqui\u00e9n se acuerda del nombre de todos los censores de anta\u00f1o? \u00bfAd\u00f3nde van a parar esos oscuros funcionarios intermedios que hacen tanto da\u00f1o y que luego arrastran una existencia miserable porque, en definitiva, verdaderamente, nada han producido m\u00e1s que miedo, insensatez y soledad?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00bfEs preciso convertirse en un activista cultural disidente para enfrentar a la censura?<\/p>\n

No se a lo que te refieres con activista cultural disidente. Yo soy un artista y por mi naturaleza soy an\u00e1rquico, iconoclasta, contestatario e irreverente. Y puedo disentir (aunque no me den derecho) pero tambi\u00e9n estoy de acuerdo en muchas cosas. No me interesa ser m\u00e1s activista que de lo que produzco y genero, es decir: de mi arte. Que en este caso se ha visto cercenado. Y conste que el \u201ccastigo\u201d <\/em>no s\u00f3lo ha sido para conmigo, sino sobre todo, para con el resto de la audiencia a la que se le neg\u00f3 la posibilidad de opinar, polemizar y\/o sacar sus propias conclusiones. \u00bfSon todos ellos tambi\u00e9n disidentes? \u00bfY si todos disentimos, qu\u00e9?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00bfPiensa que existen censura institucional y censura social tradicional? \u00bfC\u00f3mo ve que se complementan estas dos variantes en detrimento de la formaci\u00f3n cultural en las nuevas generaciones?<\/p>\n

Censura institucional no lo pienso; lo tengo comprobado que existe en este lamentable hecho. Vive entre nosotros y se manifiesta abiertamente. Como existe tambi\u00e9n un miedo enorme sembrado y ramificado a expresar lo que se quiera e incluso a solidarizarse ante lo mal hecho. Pero eso sucede en todas partes del mundo, en el que los que dominan se toman la atribuci\u00f3n de tachar, silenciar y hasta mandar a matar en el peor de los casos. Lo que pasa que aqu\u00ed en Cuba, el discurso oficial es diferente y pregona una \u201clibertad de creaci\u00f3n\u201d<\/em> que, por lo visto, no es tan abierta, ni tan libre. Censura social tradicional siempre ha existido en todas las sociedades. Y creo que siempre existir\u00e1, es parte de la naturaleza humana. Y es precisamente el papel de algunos artistas el tratar de romper con ella, abriendo nuevos caminos al pensamiento; como de otros el ensalzarla y edulcorar el entorno \u00a0para poder convivir con ella. Vivir con miedo es vivir a medias. Y hasta nuestro himno nacional lo manifiesta. Es vivir \u201cen cadenas y oprobios sumidos\u201d<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00bfEn un rango de 0 a 10, en qu\u00e9 puntuaci\u00f3n ubica las tres obras suyas m\u00e1s censuradas? \u00bfY qu\u00e9 cree que incluyen estas obras m\u00e1s censuradas para ser tan acosadas por los censores?<\/p>\n

No, no, esta pregunta creo que no est\u00e1 bien formulada. Yo he tenido coqueteos con la censura. LA HIJASTRA<\/u> fue dura y fuerte, pero nunca hab\u00edan llegado al punto de silenciarme totalmente. La verdad es que me niego a responderte porque no me importa hacer una historiograf\u00eda o una cualificaci\u00f3n de la censura en mi obra. La censura es censura y basta. Y en cualquier caso, del 1 al 10, es cuestionable. Y eso es lo \u00fanico censurable y eternamente denunciable. Me preocupa m\u00e1s ahora lo que puedan \u201cdejarme\u201d hacer o decir, que lo que ya s\u00e9 que nunca \u00a0(o por lo menos por ahora) no me\u00a0 van a permitir. Adem\u00e1s no creo que un grado de censura sea mejor que otro.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00bfC\u00f3mo considera que est\u00e1 organizada y funciona la maquinaria censora en la Cuba actual?<\/p>\n

No est\u00e1 organizada. Ni funciona como una maquinaria, creo. Por supuesto que existe el Partido que lo vigila todo, y lo que no es tambi\u00e9n. E imagino a la Seguridad del Estado y a otros mecanismos supremos. Pero poco he chocado con ellos, cara a cara. Y tampoco me interesa que eso sucediese nunca. En realidad no puedo contestarte a esa pregunta porque nunca he vivido (ni vivir\u00e9) pendiente de esas cosas. Mi oficio es crear, abrir puertas al entendimiento, aunque eso signifique destruir viejas formas de pensar y el choque contra el estancamiento. Y como considero que es, pero que mucho, m\u00e1s da\u00f1ina la AUTO- CENSURA, digo lo que digo y soy consecuente con lo que manifiesto; sin pensar de antemano si debo decirlo o no. Sin calcular el nivel de miedo al soltarlo. Sobre todo lo digo porque lo siento y porque creo hondamente en ello. Y porque como todo ser humano, tengo el derecho a decir lo que pienso. \u00a1Pobre de aquellos que se dedican a pensar que <\/strong>\u201cnuestro pueblo no est\u00e1 preparado para eso\u201d<\/em> o que <\/strong>\u201cno es el momento adecuado para hacerlo\u201d<\/em>! De ser as\u00ed nuestro pueblo nunca estar\u00e1 preparado, ni nunca ser\u00e1 el momento. Todo lo que est\u00e1bamos haciendo era una obra de teatro, se\u00f1or m\u00edo, \u00bfy a qui\u00e9n puede hacerle da\u00f1o que algunos cientos de personas se re\u00fanan en una sala a debatir sus pensamientos? Ninguna obra de arte en la historia de la humanidad, ha derrocado alg\u00fan gobierno. Ni era esa (ni ser\u00e1) nuestra intenci\u00f3n jam\u00e1s.\u00a0 Si los censores tienen miedo a que eso suceda entonces no creen ni siquiera en la fortaleza de lo que creen que est\u00e1n defendiendo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Juan Carlos Cremata Malberti,<\/strong><\/p>\n

High respected moviemaker and theatrical director:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We try, with every intention, than the content that we publish in the page of Cuba-USA Friendship Club substitute the confrontation language for reasonable judgment and common sense, but without omitting the criticism and dissension, and discussing the right to hold an opinion from all the human existing perspectives inside a civil partnership.<\/em> And the questions that we propose Mr. Cremata respond to us are based only on the concept of censure.<\/em> They are as follow:<\/em><\/p>\n

How much do you believe censure affects the Cubans, particularly in the terms of creation and public demonstration of culture?<\/em><\/p>\n

Every censure is CASTRATING (aside from obsolete, medieval and counter-revolutionary) It is just that, instead of produce counter-tenors (or eunuchs whi<\/em>ch is also liable for a lawsuit), he generates impotence, disappointment and most of all exposes the falling out between the ones that exercise it and the ones that suffer it, and this is not only for the Cubans, but for the whole wide world. If and only when nobody is damaged physically, the whole world has the right to say what it wants;<\/strong> just like the same whole world has the right to listen to it or not.<\/strong> There are a lot of things that I am not interested and I do not pay attention to it, but that does not give me any right at all to have authority to silence somebody.<\/strong> And long since there is the people \u2013 and now I am talking in concrete of our country \u2013 that entrance the right of deciding and distinguishing what the other people themselves should think, making or feeling.<\/strong> That is questionable and even punishable, because it runs against an ELEMENTARY right of every human being;<\/strong> even<\/strong> for very wrong that they are its ideas.<\/strong> Censure is the exercise of the force in front of the loss or scarcity of reason.<\/strong> It is the resource that exerts the most powerful in order that they were not heard more than his opinions.<\/strong> Is the conviction to ostracism, to silence, to deafness and to dumbness?<\/strong> It is the triumph of solitary confinement.<\/strong> And by nature, I always attempt communicating.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Which does you consider are the instruments more intelligent to use for the artistic creators to express their art, that the solution will not be\u00a0 a personal to emigrate, in a context in which an official censure predominates?<\/em><\/p>\n

In my personal case, it is keeping on creating.<\/strong> And do it in my country;<\/strong> that it is so my as of the censor.<\/strong> Anyway, this society is so sick, that it will always read politics even in a fairy tale.<\/strong> And if tomorrow I have the possibility of pointing an Open tribune artistically (something that I am not interested at all) the people will think that I am mocking. But I will continue creating.<\/strong> And if they do not leave me, I will find a way to keep on producing;<\/strong> because it is the only way that I know to survive.<\/strong> Maybe, I will go for the encounter in another way to make and to make my things known.<\/strong> It is not so bad emigrate either, most of all, to if there is not the use of force in it.<\/strong> What happens is that in Cuba that has always looked different and of course with a extremely politicized view.<\/strong> But the whole world emigrates, everywhere, and I could make it no later than tomorrow if I wanted.<\/strong> Except that I do not get the desire of making it.<\/strong> In order to emigrate I have had more than enough occasions, but I have always returned, because what I am interested in is precisely to produce in my country, the place where I believe that a lot of things should be changed.<\/strong> And there is some persons that does not love me, but there are many more that love me well.<\/strong> Perhaps tomorrow those that do not want me oblige me to leave, who knows?<\/strong> In any case to leave Cuba would be to take her always with me, although I tried to forget everything, rather, all that that definitively should be forgotten more than (and it will be DEFINITIVELY), because who remembers the name of all the censors from old times?<\/strong>\u00a0 Where are they going, those dark intermediate government officials that are harmful a lot and that next carry along a miserable existence because, definitively, really, nothing have they produced more than fear, foolishness and solitude?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is it necessary to become a cultural dissident activist to confront to censure?<\/p>\n

I don\u00b4t know to what you refer yourself as cultural dissident activist.<\/strong> I am an artist and for my nature I am anarchic, iconoclastic, non-conformist and irreverent.<\/strong> And I can dissent (although they do not entitle me) but also I agree to a lot of things. I am not interested in being more an activist than of what I produce and generate, that is,<\/strong> of my art.<\/strong> That in this case it has been cut-off.<\/strong> And be evident that the punishment <\/em>has not only been with me, but most of all, with the rest of the audience that was denied the possibility of holding an opinion, arguing or getting its own findings.<\/strong> Are all of them also dissident?<\/strong>\u00a0 And if we all dissent, what is wrong with it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you think that there are institutional censure and traditional social censure?\u00a0 How do you see that these two variants are match in prejudice of the cultural formation in the new generations?<\/p>\n

I do not think there is institutional censure;<\/strong> I have it verified that it exists in this lamentable episode. It live among us and it openly manifests itself .And it\u2019s so as an enormous fear, sown and divided into branches exists also against to express what each other want and even enclosure to make common cause in front of what’s badly made.<\/strong> But that happens in all over the world, in which the ones that have the control take the attribution of crossing out, silencing and to even give orders to kill in the worst-case scenario.<\/strong> What it so happens that here on Cuba, the official speech is different and proclaims a freedom of creation <\/em>that, apparently, is not so sincere, neither so free.<\/strong> Social traditional censure has always existed in all the societies.<\/strong> And I believe that there will always be, it is a part of the human nature.<\/strong> And it is precisely the roll of some artists is trying to break with that, opening new roads to the thought;<\/strong> as of other ones to praise it and sweeten the surroundings to be able to live together with it.<\/strong> But to live with fear is living halfway.<\/strong> And even our national anthem manifests it.<\/strong> It\u00b4s living sink in<\/em> chains and shame.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In a range from 0 to 10, in which punctuation set the three works of more censured of yours?\u00a0 And what do you believe they include to being so hounded by the censors?<\/p>\n

No, no, this question I believe that it is not well formulated.<\/strong> I have had flirtations with censure.<\/strong> THE STEPDAUGHTER <\/u>was hard and strong, but they never reached the point of silencing me totally.<\/strong> The truth is that I refuse to answer you because I don\u00b4t need to make a historiography or a qualification of the censure in my work.<\/strong> Censure is censure and is enough.<\/strong> And in any event, a range from 1 to the 10, it is questionable.<\/strong> And that is the only reproachable and forever indictable thing.<\/strong> I worry about more at the present time what they can let themselves \u00abaloud\u00bb me to make or to say, than what I already know what never they are going to allow me to (or at least for the moment). Besides I do not believe that a degree of censure be better than another one.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

How do you consider that it is organized and works the machinery censor in the present-day Cuba?<\/p>\n

It is not organized.<\/strong> Neither it functions as a machinery, I believe.<\/strong> Of course there is the Party that watches everything, and also what does not exist.<\/strong> And I imagine the State Security and also other supreme mechanisms.<\/strong> But I have not collided with them, face to face I mean.<\/strong> And I am not interested either that that happened never.<\/strong> In reality I cannot answer to that question because I have never lived (neither I will live) steepness of those things. My occupation is creating, opening doors with the understanding, although that signifies destroying old ways of thinking and the crash against stagnancy.<\/strong> And as I consider that it is, but than a great deal, more harmful the AUTO-CENSURE, I say what I say and I\u00b4m consistent with what I say;<\/strong> without stopping to think from the start if I should say it or no, not without calculating the scary level when releasing it.<\/strong> Most of all I say it because I filled so and because I believe deeply in it, and also because like every human being, I have the right to say what I think.<\/strong>\u00a0 Poor of those that dedicate themselves to think that \u00ab<\/strong>our people are not ready for that\u00bb <\/em>or that \u00ab<\/strong>Is not the right moment to make it\u00bb! <\/em>If so our people never will be ready, neither will it be never the moment.<\/strong> All that we were doing was a stage play, people, and who can be damage that some hundreds of people meet in a living room to debate what they believe?<\/strong> No work of art in the history of Humanity has demolished any government.<\/strong> Neither that purpose was (neither it will be) our intention never.\u00a0 If censors have fear that happens to then they do not even believe in strength of what they believe that they are defending.<\/strong><\/p>\n
