"Marguerite" by Neher Jacqueline Briceño
2022-04-08 20:00 | MDCA On.Stage Black Box Theatre, 2901 West Flagler St, Miami, FL, 33135, United States
“Marguerite”, o las crónicas de una mujer dormida, es un espectáculo concebido con música y cantantes en vivo para acompañar el peculiar viaje de una mujer que, en medio de alucinaciones, confunde a los espectadores con periodistas y les comparte información sobre su vida y su pasión: la radio y las radioescuchas, mujeres que en horas de la madrugada se conectan a su programa para recibir consejos de cómo sobrevivir al desamor, a la violencia y la soledad.
Al ser despedida por la emisora, se multiplica el número de seguidoras que reclaman su presencia mientras ella se debate entre despertar o no de una sobredosis con somníferos por perder su trabajo y a su amante francés, un misterioso desconocido que desestabiliza su precaria existencia.
Desde una cama, de la cual no tiene el valor de bajarse, Marguerite contesta a todas las preguntas y confirma la presencia de esa multitud de mujeres que la aclaman y transforman en una influencer sin ella tener conciencia de ello.
“Marguerite”, o las crónicas de una mujer dormida, forma parte de una trilogía de unipersonales que plantean diferentes posturas sobre las complejidades del amor y sus estragos, de los cuales ya su autora y actriz, Neher Jacqueline Briceno, pudo llevar a escena “Hablame del amor… y otras torturas” , con el cual gana el premio Escena de Miami 2019, como mejor Actriz.

Out In The Tropics feat: Andares by Makuyeika Theatre Collective
2022-04-22 20:00 | MDCA On.Stage Black Box Theatre, 2901 West Flagler St, Miami, FL, 33135, United States
Makuyeika Theatre Collective uses keen, artistic sensibility to address themes of great social, cultural, and human value that create original narratives and theatricalities of Mexicos indigenous people. Makuyeika means wayfarer in the language of the Wixarika people and was formed, as part of a Julie Taymor World Theatre Fellowship project. Andares (Pathways) centers on the lives of indigenous youths in Mexico, devised collectively through personal anecdotes, ancestral myths, as well as traditional music and art forms. The play shines light on a range of realities; land usurpation, widespread violence, ancestral duties, and community resistance that indigenous people face at the crossroads of modern life and tradition. Andares is a genuine, eye-opening, and intimate close-up on Mexico’s most remote corners and the extraordinary stories of its humble, everyday inhabitants.
This performance is presented in Spanish.
