"Vuelve a contármelo todo" de Abel González Melo
2021-08-06 20:30 | MDCA On.Stage Black Box Theatre, 2901 West Flagler St, Miami, FL, 33135, United States
ARCA Images and Miami-Dade County Auditorium present the world premiere of “Vuelve a contármelo todo” (Tell me Everything Again), written and directed by Abel González Melo, starring Adrián Mas and Laura Alemán.
Un actor de reparto, cansado de la rutina. Una joven actriz, llena de ilusiones. Una cesta de manzanas cae al suelo y ellos por primera vez se miran. A partir de ese momento ya no van a separarse. Nada los detendrá en su carrera imparable hacia el abismo del éxito. No habrá traición, ni venganza, ni crimen que no cometan para llegar a la cúspide, juntos. Al borde del precipicio, se verán obligados a reconstruir la historia de la que son protagonistas, a reinventarse en una noria sin fin. Un thriller sentimental con toques de comedia negra. Un hechizo arcaico libremente inspirado en Macbeth de Shakespeare. Una violenta reflexión, con el teatro a cuestas, sobre la sociedad de estos tiempos.
A supporting actor, tired of the routine. A young actress, full of illusions. A basket of apples falls to the ground and they look at each other for the first time. From that moment they will no longer be separated. Nothing will stop them in their path towards the abyss of success. There will be no betrayal, no revenge, no crime they don’t commit to get to the cusp, together. On the edge of the cliff, they will be forced to reconstruct the story of which they are protagonists, to reinvent themselves in an endless ferris wheel. A sentimental thriller with touches of black comedy. An archaic spell inspired by Shakespeare’s Macbeth. A violent reflection, with the theater in tow, on the society of these times.

La selección de 10 relatos del premio nobel de la literatura, Gabriel García Márquez (Gabo), que vieron luz entre 1948 y 1954, son el punto de partida y de inspiración para diseñar un espectáculo basado en los personajes femeninos protagónicos de dichos cuentos y en el desarrollo de una puesta en escena llena de sutilezas y una estética visual inspirada en su inclinación hacia lo real y lo maravilloso, técnicas narrativas tan reconocidas en el autor.
“Ellas, las de Gabo”, es una fuente sensorial que brinda al espectador un viaje sutil y femenino, un recorrido onírico y psicológico alrededor de personajes, que, en su mayoría, nos abren su subconsciente, sus deseos reprimidos, sus miedos y sus frustraciones eróticas.
10 actrices jóvenes impregnan el espacio con la energía y la emocionalidad necesaria para adentrarse en un mundo donde el tiempo, el amor, la obsesión y la soledad, sostienen el peso de sus personajes.
Dramaturgia de Neher Jacqueline Briceño inspirado en los cuentos de Gabriel García Márquez. Dirigido por Neher Jacqueline Briceño.

"Marguerite" by Neher Jaqueline Briceño
2021-10-15 20:00 | MDCA On.Stage Black Box Theatre, 2901 West Flagler St, Miami, FL, 33135, United States
“Marguerite”, or the chronicles of a woman asleep”, is a show conceived with live music and singers who accompany the peculiar journey of a woman who, amid hallucinations, tells us about her life and passion: radio and radio listeners.
When Marguerite is fired from the radio station where she works, the number of followers who demand her presence multiplies while she is torn between the conscious and the unconscious after a painful breakup and her decision to “sleep” to forget. From a bed from which she does not have the courage to get off, she amuses and moves us with her peculiar reflection on love, the human condition and her need to wake up.
“Marguerite”, or the chronicles of a woman asleep”, is part of a trilogy of monologues that explore the complexities of love and its ravages developed by Neher Jaqueline Briceño who received the awards for Best Actress and Director from Premios Escena de Miami 2019 for the first monologue of the trilogy, “Cántame sobre el amor… y otras torturas “. This time the quartet is completed by three great Miami musicians: Inez Barlatier, Daniela Padrón and Michael Gil.

Beginning in the 1990’s and spreading throughout their kingdom until our current time, sparrows have “changed their tune” with unprecedented rapidity. The pandemic brought quiet to the birds and enabled them to hear each other on a wider scale and vary their communication, bringing a coming together. They sing more quietly in a lower tone, but with more flourishes. North America has lost 3 billion birds since 1970.

Miami-Dade County Auditorium and ARCA Images present the World Premiere of a new work by Pulitzer Prize winning Cuban-American playwright Nilo Cruz. Set in a South Beach resort, “Hotel Desiderium” explores the complex tumultuous relationship between three young artists, who lose sight of reality when they are blinded by the miracle of an unforeseeable love.
Sunol is an actor and a struggling immigrant from Latin America; Lucienne and Dante are two artists of bourgeois families who have lost their vision, and are visiting Miami for an art festival. Lucienne’s mother, Magda, fiercely opposes the union between these three creative lonely souls and uses everything in her power to stop it. But with all good intentions, can Magda manage to destroy the bonds between these three mismatched people after they have discovered the wonders of love and how they can help one another through art?
