The Ministry of Culture is promoting an urban art event, "All About Hats" this coming Saturday, 16 April at 10 am at Calle El Conde in Santo Domingo's Colonial City. For the event, performances, body painting, installations, happenings, experimental music, ballet, story telling, dramas, living statues, folklore, live painting, poetry and singing are planned. Actors will recreate The Raft of the Medusa by Pablo Picasso, an extract from Moby Dick and there will be a giant game of chess with human chess pieces.

The plan is to show, in a single artistic manifestation, how painting, music, acting, installation, poetry and dance can merge.

The event will take place on the pedestrianized Calle El Conde from Arzobispo Merino to Jose Reyes streets from 10am to 10pm.

Also present will be the giant ironwork statues by Jose Ignacio Morales, El Artistico, from La Romana.

Participating artists include project coordinator Yi-yoh Robles, Manuel Frias, Jimmy Verdecia from Cuba, painter Alejandro Cabral, actor Jose Guillermo, actress Mirian Lozano and poet Elsa Baez. Also Glaem Parls, Ramon Valverde, Patricia Martinez, Alex Guerrero, Jose Duluc, Faustino Perez, Tony Gutierrez, Alsina, Guillermo Liriano, Manuel Cubilete and Luis Melendez.

There are two performances planned in solidarity with the victims of the earthquakes in Haiti and Japan.
