Cervantes inventó un caballero andante, un Quijote, que no ganó batallas, un loco que amaba la libertad para hacer el bien. Siempre pareció un buscador de lo justo y lo verdadero. La locura de atreverse a decir la verdad. Los personajes de la mítica novela de la literatura española necesitaron para existir en nuestros ensayos de una balada que descubriera el camino hacia un tejido nuevo. Los actores a veces rompen las reglas del realismo con acciones sorprendentes. A esos actores la técnica para interpretar los protege. La metafísica del teatro no es más que lo ético y lo técnico, otorgándole en cada ensayo y en cada representación, un nuevo valor al silencio.\ This event will be presented in Spanish only./Este evento se presentará solamente en Español.

A World Premiere By Vanessa Garcia In collaboration with Abre Camino Collective Directed by Sarah Hughes and Victoria Collado Catherine is searching for something authentic as she embarks on a “Lewis-and-Clark-esque” trip across America sponsored by Monteverde Moonshine with her new lover and colleague, Lewis. Along the way, they pick up a wayward nun named Rosalie who has just gone through deep loss, meet a queer homeschooled teenager named Blake and rummage through the layers of migration and gender inequity that make up America. As Catherine travels, she comes to more questions than answers about “the real America,” her own identity and what authenticity even means anymore.

En este espectáculo, a través de una selección de poemas y canciones, le rendimos tributo a esas mujeres que a través de la historia levantaron sus voces para rebelarse ante lo establecido. Mujeres que abrazaron el dolor para convertirlo en sublimes creaciones. Mujeres rebeldes. Mujeres malditas para algunos. No están todas, pero que este tributo sirva como un humilde homenaje a todas ellas.

Three years ago, the producers of this project began a series of workshops interviewing immigrant actors and actresses from different nations around the world. Through their work, they were able to connect a series of stories that tell talk about the global experiences of being an immigrant in the 21st century. Japanese American Costume and Scenic Designer Michiko Kitayama-Skinner was inspired by their stories and her own experience living here in Miami seeing artists use their cultural backgrounds to experiment with new forms of storytelling to create The Passport Project. Along with her partners New York-based Sound Designer Eric Lawson and Artistic Director of the Nordic Black Theater Cliff Moustache, they have created an immersive theatrical experience that allows you to live the stories of these incredible people for yourself. This Project is a free project presented through a partnership with the University of Miami Department of Theater Arts and the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs. Venue: Red Road Black Box Studio 6565 Red Road Coral Gables, FL 33146
