2021-04-30 20:00 | Miami-Dade County Auditorium, 2901 West Flagler St, Miami, FL, 33135, United States
Bistoury Physical Theater & Film’s 305 Havana International Improv Fest 2021 is a festival that promotes the art of improvisation in performance and film. This year 305 & Havana International Improv Fest presents screenings and performances that deepen into the art of improvisation, bringing together performing artists, filmmakers and audiences across the city.
This year partnering venues include the Miami-Dade County Auditorium and O Cinema. In the life of a stage or creative space, improvisation is considered an instrument for exploration and a tool for expanding creative possibilities. Open-ended investigation into the art of improvisation in different artistic expressions has become a tool that has no limits in the search for an authentic language through movement or ideas. Every year, the festival commissions a Miami-based artist to present a new improvisation work.
Choreographers and dancers Heather Maloney and Liony Garcia have been commissioned with their pieces “Here” and “Up in the Clouds”.
More information can be found on the Bistoury Physical Theater & Film website.
Part of the Drive-Through Theatre Experience series.

Alfonsito despierta con ganas de ir hasta la tienda y comprar un pan, o dos. Para lograrlo deberá enfrentar sus múltiples y extravagantes miedos. Aparentar ser como los otros, como la gente “normal” y abandonar su casa meticulosamente organizada y polvorienta. Deberá velozmente transitar por la calle vacía evitando las bromas de sus “amigotes”, la melancolía de los barrenderos y el encuentro con su comadre Magalita, la maquiavélica. Y, sobre todo, evitar la explosión del músculo rojo dentro de su pecho al momento de recibir su bolsita de pan. Escrita y dirigida por Carlos Gallegos.
Alfonsito wakes up with a desire to go the store and buy a loaf of bread or two. To do so, he must overcome his multiple eccentric fears, appear to be like others – like “normal” people – and leave his meticulously organized, dusty home. He must walk quickly down the lonely street, avoiding the teasing by his “friends”, the sadness of the street sweepers and any encounter with the Machiavellian Magalita. Above all, he must keep the red muscle inside his chest from exploding when he receives his bag of bread. Written and directed by Carlos Gallegos.

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.

SOLD OUT
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.
