The Double Nine Players (Gibara, Cuba 2019)

When you visit Cuba, you soon realise that time seems to stop on the island, from the colonial architecture to the classic cars and the horse-drawn carriages. Time seems to be one of the few things that many Cubans have plenty of. I captured this scene in the streets of Gibara, a small fishing village on the north-eastern coast of the island. The game of dominoes is one of the pastimes that best identifies the nature of Cubans and covers every inch of the island. Playing dominoes provides an excellent excuse for having a few shots of rum with friends, of exchanging opinions on the political scene worldwide and the latest gossip in the neighborhood.
