The dancer and choreographer on reversing ageing, his twin daughters, and selling stolen mangoes
Born in Havana, Carlos Acosta trained at Cuba’s National Ballet School. He joined the Royal Ballet in 1998 and was a principal guest artist there from 2003-2016. In 2003, his show Tocororo: A Cuban Tale, based on his childhood, broke box office records. He celebrates 30 years in dance at the Royal Albert Hall from 2-5 October. He is married with three children, and lives in Somerset.
What is your earliest memory?
Going to the countryside with my mother, during a time we were struggling for food. We would exchange soap bars and old clothes for grain and beans. I must have been five or six.
