A theater hall on Línea Street is named after her, and that is just one of the many ways in which the memory of Raquel Revuelta lasts among those who admired her and reaches the new generations. The famous actress, born in 1925, also a director and a teacher, left a trail that continues to be an essential reference in our culture, and thanks to the references of the critics, her film and television appearances, she is present until today. There are quite a good number of Cuban actresses who continue to mention her when it comes to the example to follow, and Raquel, with her physical and indelible voice, will surely inspire many others.
To make her more present right there, in the lobby of that hall on Línea Street, a ceramic mural with her image was inaugurated during the days of the 17th Festival de Teatro de La Habana. Raciel Feria and Luis Zamora were the artists who created this artistic piece, based on a photographic image of the actress in her role as Madre Coraje, one of her most celebrated roles. Raquel, who from a young age was linked to radio and theater, and worked with Eugenia Zúffoli´s Company, then found on television a suitable medium for her photogenic quality, and became extremely popular in spaces like Un romance every Thursday. Under the direction of Roberto Garriga and Carballido Rey, among others, she performed at numerous teleteatros, confirming herself as one of the most recognizable faces of this medium in Cuba. At the same time, she did theater at the theater halls of El Vedado, and in 1956 she reached with Juana de Lorena, played at the Hubert de Blanck hall in a mise en scene by his brother Vicente, a crucial point of her histrionic career.
The mural that now welcomes the audience in the hall that bears her name will allow us to always evoke her as Anna Fierling, the mother who battles with the hard life of the war, according to the extraordinary play by Brecht. The unveiling of the mural allowed Julio César Ramírez, director of the theater, and Alberto Oliva, a friend and a collaborator of Raquel´s, to evoke her through the respect and closeness that her legacy deserves. Now she is not just a name on the facade of a Havana building. She is also there, close to the stage, as she always wanted.
