Frénésies, a theatrical production of La Compagnie Tilawcis Presented by Alliance Française Miami Metro and Koubek Center

Turned towards an organic incarnation whose common thread is the departure-return report from the native island, the territory of origin, Frénésies starts slowly with a misguided character "I had the ocean as far as the eye could see but I was without horizon", sometimes candid: Thomas (twin in Aramaic). He meets his inverted double, free and without attachment, real or not, to the public to decide, Bilal (the name of the Patron saint of the muezzins, the one who sublimates reality by sacralizing it. It also represents water in Arab culture, the elusive, the intangible, the one who overflows, who flies, who engulfs), who will do it juggling disturbing and ecstatic situations during the course an unforgettable trip on American roads. Everything contributes to tighten the room towards a philosophical, mystical climax, an intimate ritual to reconnect with oneself, with one's roots, thus becoming a new genre: an initiatory road-theatre.

Conecta Miami Arts Presents: “Madre” featuring Adriana Barraza

Madre es la travesía de una mujer milenaria en su eterna lucha por encontrar el cuerpo de su hijo. Es el reflejo de las miles de mujeres que, siendo víctimas de la barbarie, se aferran a la fortaleza de sus corazones para seguir buscando. Quizás no se les devuelva la paz, ni el cuerpo, ni un nombre escrito en la historia, mucho menos el de ellas, pero son las únicas que se niegan a detenerse. En celebración de los 50 años de carrera de la destacada actriz Adriana Barraza, este unipersonal multidisciplinario que integra música, danza y teatro, es un homenaje a todas las madres heroínas que han luchado y siguen luchando en contra de la desaparición forzada. *** La obra de teatro es presentada en español

A Doll's House, Part 2 Presented by GableStage

90 min No intermission Mild adult language As a door slams in 1879 Norway, a young wife and mother leaves behind her family, freeing herself from the shackles of traditional societal constraints. Now, 15 years later, that same door opens to reveal Nora, a changed woman with an incredibly awkward favor to ask the people who she abandoned. Lucas Hnath’s bitingly funny sequel to Ibsen’s revolutionary masterpiece unfolds in a series of bristling stand-offs that reveal in Nora’s world, much like our own, behind every opinion there is a person, and a slamming door isn’t just an end, but also the chance for a new beginning.
