Crónicas del Absurdo by Miguel Coyula reveals Cuba’s hidden truths—followed by a talk with David Leitner & Coco Fusco.
About this Event

Crónicas del Absurdo, a mesmerizing film by director Miguel Coyula, unmasks the contradictions underlying the social and political dynamics of today’s Cuba, so often invisible to casual visitors. The film's narrative is assembled primarily from clandestine audio recordings. The screening will be followed by a discussion between the film's associate producer David Leitner and artist Coco Fusco, whose exhibition Tomorrow, I Will Become an Island is on view at El Museo through January 11, 2026.

Miguel Coyula's previous films include Memorias del desarrollo (2010), a follow up to the 1968 Cuban classic Memories of Underdevelopment (1968) that premiered in 2010 at the Sundance Film Festival and gathered twenty awards internationally, as well as the documentary Nadie (2017) and Corazón Azul (2021).
