To mark the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of Patria, Minerva and Maria Teresa Mirabal, a ballet called "Tres" (Three) will be staged at the Mirabal Sisters Monument in Salcedo at 7pm this evening. With choreography by Carlos Veitia and music by Philip Glass, the ballet was inspired by the three national heroines and their struggle against the Trujillo dictatorship, leading to their murder on 25 November 1960. The Ministry of Culture is sponsoring the performance, which is open to the public free of charge. Dancers include Cuban National Ballet's premier danseur Romel Frometa, and premier danseur Maykel Acosta from the Dominican National Ballet. The sisters will be portrayed by ballerinas Maria Valeria Melogno, Stephanie Bauger, Alihayde Carreno and Lisbell Piedra.
