Feos by Teatro y su Doble

Written by acclaimed Chilean playwright Guillermo Calderón and inspired by the story “La Noche de los Feos” by Mario Benedetti, “Feos” is a visual feast of Bunraku-style puppetry. A man and a woman who have spent their whole lives alone and subjected to stares due to physical deformities have a chance encounter in line at a movie theatre. Together they go in search of the light behind the darkness, although nothing is quite as it seems. Incorporating stop motion projections, puppeteering of the highest caliber and a story that challenges audiences to look at their own faults with honesty and acceptance, the production is a unique work of beauty.

"Bayamesa" de Abel González Melo
2020-01-30 20:00 - 2020-02-02 20:00 | MDCA On.Stage Black Box Theatre, 2901 West Flagler St, Miami, FL, 33135, United States
Miami-Dade County Auditorium and Teatro Avante present Bayamesa, a play written by Abel González Melo and directed by Mario Ernesto Sánchez. A theatre company comes across unpublished manuscripts of the poet María Luisa Milanés (1893-1919), an ardent feminist and patriot born in Bayamo, Cuba, and undertakes the task of creating a play based on her complicated life. In the process, the theatre company uncovers the fascinating story of a dangerous clash with patriarchal tyranny. Bayamesa tells two stories, one set in the early 1900 as María Luisa is turning 16, and another in 2019, as the theatre company prepares a show inspired by her life.
María Luisa, was fluent in English, French and Latin, and was a classically educated accomplished pianist and painter. She was progressive in her political and social ideas, such as the right to vote, but her adoring father was bound by societal conventions. A woman clearly born before her time, María Luisa was a strong character even when society discriminated against her. She had her own voice, but also her own anguish. María Luisa was a tragic figure who died at the age of 26 by suicide.
