MDCA Away From Home: FUNDarte presents "RESET" by Alfonso Barón, Luciano Cortés, and Luciano Rosso
2026-08-28 20:00 (America/New_York) | 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.
Presented in Spanish with English supertitles. Part of the 40ᵗʰ International Hispanic Theatre Festival of Miami and MDCA’s Hot Theatre Summer Series.

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.

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.
