"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.

brigid baker wholeproject's “Operation Birdsong”
2021-11-11 20:00 | MDCA On.Stage Black Box Theatre, 2901 West Flagler St, Miami, FL, 33135, United States
“Operation Birdsong” is the second in a trilogy of contemporary dance and visual art companion pieces for brigid baker wholeproject that will conclude in the spring of 2022. They include “Crown,” “Operation Birdsong,” and “Return of the Bird Tribes”. Big change this way comes. 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.

"Hotel Desiderium" by Nilo Cruz - World Premiere
2021-11-18 20:00 | MDCA On.Stage Black Box Theatre, 2901 West Flagler St, Miami, FL, 33135, United States
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?
Presented in English with simultaneous audio translation in Spanish.

Armour Dance Theatre’s Nutcracker ballet is more than a holiday tradition with familiar music. Students from all five Armour Dance Theatre sites start preparing for The Nutcracker in August, rehearsing weekly and learning the ropes of being in a large-scale, full-length ballet production.
The cast of over 140 includes New World School of the Arts students in the more advanced roles, along with world-class guest stars, guaranteeing both quality and a level of diversity not seen in other local productions of The Nutcracker. Our goal is to make certain all children in the audience see performers on stage who look like them.
Over 7,000 public schoolchildren experience this production annually. The region’s first Sensory-Friendly Nutcracker was launched by Armour Dance Theatre (formerly known as Thomas Armour Youth Ballet.) in 2013. Through this effort, Armour Dance Theatre has become a leader by the local arts community in making the arts accessible to all children.
