    C olumbia U niversity RECORD November 9, 2001 3 OFF CAMPUS A Return to Cuba Helps Eduardo Machado Find Home and Inspiration BY KRISTIN STERLING “Did they throw me out, or did I walk away from my country?” This question plagues many Cuban exiles and resonates throughout Eduardo Machado’s “Havana is Waiting.” The play is a semi-autobio- graphical drama inspired by Machado’s own emotion-filled return to Cuba in 1999. At the age of nine, Machado’s parents put him and his younger brother on a “Peter Pan” flight to the U.S., a decision that Machado, like many others, has questioned and resented all of his life. Over 13,000 Cuban children made similar flights during the early 1960s, as their parents feared Communist indoctrination and the revolutionary government under Fidel Castro. Machado, an associate profes- sor in the Theatre Arts Division of the School of the Arts, describes his return to Cuba as “the most important experience of my adult life… that trip opened up a whole world of things that I yearn for.” PHOTO BY CAROL ROSEGG, COURTESY OF SPRINGER/CHICOINE PUBLIC RELATIONS Machado reveals much of him- Felix Solis, left, Bruce MacVittie, center, and Ed Vassalo, right, take a journey home in Eduardo Machado’s play, “Havana is Waiting.” The self in this very personal, production will run through Dec. 31 at the Cherry Lane Theatre. thoughtful and political work.
