We met senior students, sixteen and seventeen years old, whose training placed them at the threshold between education and professional life.

Instead, these encounters became the beginning of a separate work.<\/p><p>We first met them as senior students at the Escuela Nacional de Ballet of Havana. In 2027, when they are young adults, we hope to return\u2014with their renewed participation and consent\u2014to see how time, training, choice, fatigue, ambition, and compromise have begun to shape
