2026-04-18 20:00 (America/New_York) | Westchester Cultural Arts Center, 7930 SW 40th St, Miami, FL, 33155, United States
FUNDarte and Miami-Dade County Auditorium, in partnership with the Roxy Theater Group, presents “La Pluma o La Espada” by Astrid Hadad on Saturday, April 18 at 8:00 pm at the Westchester Cultural Arts Center.
It is about making known the baroque era in Mexico, both in its social, artistic, political or every day. The common thread of the show is woven by lives crusades of two women, one born in Spain, the other in Mexico, both locked up in a convent but going to twist their destinies in opposite ways: one with the pen, the other with the sword, one is the Nun Alférez and the Another Sor Juana. The two most famous women in Spain and New Spain of the Baroque era.

MDCA Away From Home: ARCA Images presents "Variaciones para un tema insignificante" by Carlos Celdrán
2026-04-24 20:00 | Westchester Cultural Arts Center, 7930 SW 40th St, Miami, FL, 33155, United States
ARCA Images and Miami-Dade County Auditorium presents the world premiere of “Variaciones para un tema insignificante” (Variations on an Insignificant Theme), a new work written and directed by Carlos Celdrán, on April 24 – May 3 at the Westchester Cultural Arts Center.
Con las Suites para cello de Bach como pulso insistente, Variaciones para un tema insignificante construye un teatro de memoria y revelación. Una mujer vuelve, décadas después, al instante en que su vida cambió para siempre: el día en que su esposo, un escritor, le pidió que se fuera con él y ella se negó. Ese gesto, aparentemente mínimo, se convierte en el núcleo de una confesión atravesada por el exilio, el miedo, la violencia social y política, la maternidad y el peso de lo no dicho.
La obra transcurre entre una sala que también es plaza y escenario. Ella dialoga con un Autor que funciona como interlocutor y testigo, abriendo un espacio donde pasado y presente se superponen. A través de variaciones, versiones, retornos y correcciones, el relato indaga en cómo una vida puede quedar definida por un segundo, y en cómo la memoria, lejos de cerrar, insiste: reescribe, acusa, perdona y vuelve a empezar.
La dirección de Celdrán, reconocida por su rigor actoral y su sensibilidad, convierte lo íntimo en un hecho público, sostiene una puesta centrada en la palabra, el cuerpo y el silencio, acompañada por una música que no ilustra: persigue, interrumpe y conduce.
La obra está dirigida por Carlos Cedrán, con la producción de Alexa Kuve y contará con las actuaciones de Laura Ramos y Daniel Romero.

MDCA Away from Home: "Whistling to Death" The Poetry of Nilo Cruz in Song
2026-06-13 17:30 | Sanctuary of the Arts, 410 Andalusia Ave., Coral Gables, FL, 33134, United States
Arca Images and Miami-Dade County Auditorium presents the World Premiere of “Whistling to Death” The Poetry of Nilo Cruz in Song, a one-time concert event, taking place Saturday, June 13, 2026, at 5:30 pm at the Sanctuary of the Arts.
Conceived as part of Three Times Cruz, this musical evening brings the poetry and dramatic imagination of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Nilo Cruz into song. With music composed and performed by Miranda, musical arrangements by Carlos Silva, and a script by Alexa Kuve, the concert creates an intimate journey through memory, exile, childhood, disguise, language, and the secret signals by which human beings insist on being seen.
Through a sequence of songs and narration, Whistling to Death explores the recurring landscapes of Cruz’s theatre and poetry: the body as a room of memory, language as a refuge, exile as both wound and invention, and beauty as an act of resistance. The concert invites audiences into a world where ordinary objects — a scarf, a bicycle, a piece of fruit, a bundle of papers — become charged with longing, danger, and revelation.
Presented in Spanish with English supertitles.

MDCA Away from Home: Arca Images presents "La muerte de un viajante"
2026-08-21 20:00 | Westchester Cultural Arts Center, 7930 SW 40th St, Miami, FL, 33155, United States
Arca Images and Miami-Dade County Auditorium present “La muerte de un viajante,” a celebration of 250 years of the United States featuring two great classics of American theater, directed by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Nilo Cruz and Samantha Pazos. Performances take place Friday, August 21, and Saturday, August 22, at 8:00 p.m.; Sunday, August 23, at 5:00 p.m.; Friday, August 28, and Saturday, August 29, at 8:00 p.m.; and Sunday, August 30, at 5:00 p.m. at the Westchester Cultural Arts Center (WCAC).
En el marco de la conmemoración de los 250 años de Estados Unidos, Arca Images presenta una programación especial dedicada a dos de los dramaturgos más influyentes del teatro norteamericano: Arthur Miller y Edward Albee. La celebración comenzará con La muerte de un viajante, obra maestra de Arthur Miller, bajo la dirección del dramaturgo ganador del Premio Pulitzer Nilo Cruz. La puesta en escena contará con traducción y adaptación de Alexa Kuve, revisada por el propio Nilo Cruz, en una propuesta que busca acercar este gran clásico al público hispanohablante contemporáneo.
Considerada una de las piezas fundamentales del teatro moderno, La muerte de un viajante explora con profunda humanidad los sueños, contradicciones y fracturas del llamado “sueño americano”. Su vigencia continúa resonando con fuerza en el presente, especialmente en una ciudad como Miami, donde convergen tantas historias de familia, identidad, y pertenencia.
As part of the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, Arca Images presents a special program dedicated to two of the most influential playwrights in American theater: Arthur Miller and Edward Albee. The celebration will begin with Death of a Salesman, Arthur Miller’s masterpiece, under the direction of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Nilo Cruz. The production will feature translation and adaptation by Alexa Kuve, revised by Nilo Cruz himself, in a proposal that seeks to bring this great classic closer to contemporary Spanish-speaking audiences.
Considered one of the fundamental pieces of modern theater, Death of a Salesman explores with profound humanity the dreams, contradictions, and fractures of the so-called “American Dream.” Its relevance continues to resonate strongly in the present, especially in a city like Miami, where so many stories of family, identity, and belonging converge.

MDCA Away From Home: FUNDarte presents "RESET" by Alfonso Barón, Luciano Cortés, and Luciano Rosso
2026-08-28 20:00 | Koubek Center, 2705 SW 3rd St., Miami, FL, 33135, United States
FUNDarte, Miami-Dade County Auditorium and the Koubek Center presents RESET by Alfonso Barón, Luciano Cortés, and Luciano Rosso on Friday, August 28 and Saturday, August 29, 2026 at 8:00 pm at the Koubek Center.
In RESET, performers Alfonso Barón, Luciano Cortés, and Luciano Rosso create a theatrical experience in which the body becomes the last truly human territory. Through physical theater, extreme gesture, absurdist humor, and hypnotic choreographic precision, the work explores the cycles of collapse and renewal that define contemporary life. What begins as a technological concept, the act of rebooting a system, is transformed into a powerful metaphor for humanity’s attempts to recover, adapt, and reinvent itself after each crisis.
As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the way we work, communicate, and create, RESET offers a response rooted in the body. The performers embrace imperfection, exhaustion, vulnerability, and resilience, revealing something deeply human in the process of beginning again. Enhanced by the evocative set and costume design of Celia Ledón, the production inhabits a world suspended between the industrial, the futuristic, and the organic, reflecting a society in constant transformation.

Parece ser un país en reciente democracia que ha vivido un convulso y extenso período de dictadura. O quizás es al contrario, aunque los personajes no sean conscientes, o no deban decirlo. En medio de una clase de Matemáticas, una adolescente comienza a agredir a sus compañeros de modo inesperado y violento. La maestra se reúne con el abuelo, su tutor legal, para analizar la extraña conducta, que ha generado notables daños físicos incluso a la propia menor. El diálogo con una doctora aportará más incertidumbres que certezas, pero abrirá la puerta a un pasado que, poco a poco, moviéndonos entre dos tiempos, irá revelando secretos vínculos entre estos cuatro seres y dictará sus destinos.
It appears to be a country in the wake of a recent democracy, following a long and turbulent period of dictatorship. Or perhaps it is quite the opposite, though the characters are either unaware or dare not say. In the middle of a Mathematics class, a teenager begins to attack her classmates with unexpected violence. The teacher meets with the grandfather, her legal guardian, to analyze this strange behavior, which has caused notable physical harm even to the girl herself. A dialogue with a doctor will offer more uncertainties than certainties, but it will open a door to a past that, shifting between two timelines, will gradually reveal secret links between these four beings and dictate their destinies.

A cincuenta años del golpe de Estado en Uruguay, el teatro sigue siendo arena de debate. El cadáver de un militar desaparece tras un desentierro clandestino y un secuestro. Una burócrata ejemplar reclama un entierro digno. El muerto se presenta y exige justicia. Cuando la memoria es a la inversa, los cuerpos aparecen. Marx asegura que la historia ocurre dos veces: primero como tragedia, después como farsa. Entretanto, dos jóvenes se preguntan cuál es la mejor herramienta para cambiar el mundo, ¿la corrección política o la conciencia de clase? La filosofía marxista sigue arrojando luz sobre un sistema económico que genera muertos vivos. “El capital es un parásito abstracto, un gigantesco vampiro, un hacedor de zombis; pero la carne fresca que convierte en trabajo muerto es la nuestra y los zombis que genera somos nosotros mismos”, escribe Mark Fisher en su libro Realismo Capitalista. De allí nacen las once escenas de este Zombi manifiesto, como las once Tesis sobre Feuerbach que postulaban que no alcanza con interpretar de diversas maneras el mundo, de lo que se trata es de transformarlo.
Fifty years after the coup d’état in Uruguay, theatre remains a space for debate. The corpse of a military officer disappears following a clandestine exhumation and a kidnapping. An exemplary bureaucrat demands a dignified burial. The dead man appears and calls for justice. When memory works in reverse, bodies resurface. Karl Marx argued that history occurs twice: first as tragedy, then as farce. Meanwhile, two young people ask themselves what the best tool is to change the world: political correctness or class consciousness? Marxist philosophy continues to shed light on an economic system that produces the living dead. “Capital is an abstract parasite, a gigantic vampire, a maker of zombies; but the fresh flesh it turns into dead labor is ours, and the zombies it creates are ourselves,” writes Mark Fisher in his book Capitalist Realism. From this emerge the eleven scenes of this Zombie Manifesto, echoing the eleven theses on Feuerbach, which propose that it is not enough to interpret the world in different ways, the point is to transform it.

Odd Man Out es una experencia sensorial inmersiva que despierta tus sentidos y tu imaginación. Tomarás un vuelo como ningún otro – en completa oscuridad.

Una vez en el vuelo, experimentarás una historia a través del sonido, el olfato, el gusto y el tacto. Incluso sentirás el clima sucediendo dentro de la habitación. Pero todo en completa oscuridad. Una vez que salgas, te invitamos a quedarte y disfrutar de la belleza, la vida y la esperanza de tu nuevo destino. El espectáculo narra la historia de un músico ciego cuya vida lo lleva desde Buenos Aires hasta Nueva York. Seguiremos la vida de Alberto mientras descubre la música, aprende a tocar la guitarra, viaja por el mundo y finalmente lidera y triunfa con su propia banda. También experimentará desamor y pérdida en un país desgarrado por conflictos internos. Odd Man Out no solo se trata de contar una historia, sino de crear una experiencia teatral única.
