Freely adapted version of Federico García Lorca's The House of Bernarda Alba. Dance-theatre rendered in flamenco and contemporary dance. A widow imposes eight years of mourning on her five daughters. In an atmosphere of authoritarianism, repression and desire, the drama unfolds.

Presentation of the 2018 Life Achievement in the Performing Arts Award to outstanding Puerto Rican creator Rosa Luisa Márquez, in recognition of her extraordinary trajectory and contribution to Ibero-American theatre.

A meeting reignites old quarrels, secrets and hidden desires in a chain of sarcastic exchanges that move from absurd to deeply felt expressions of a family dysfunction that increases as a result of a dying woman's last wish.

At times we need to return to the places where we broke down, to walk back to the adolescent we once were and face our wounds, those that open up when we are intent on choosing who we want to be.

Co-sponsored by Cultural Office of the Embassy of Spain.

A tempting game meant to delve honestly into marital relations. Two married couples, all of them actors, accidentally discover that the deep friendship they have shared for more than a decade is riddled with secrets that keep them from going onstage together.

A man and a woman with a common past and a distant present. They were lovers; now they are memories to each other. They were two people who each ended up alone, though they still resemble each other, still think in common. How long will it take for them to stop being alike?

Alone and confined, a woman prepares to defend herself in a trial that turns out to be a travesty. Assailed by memory and delirium, she tells us her story. The setting is Uruguay in the late 19th century, in the midst of political and family wars.

The adventure of a baby seagull being cared for by four cats, and the commitment of one of them, the noble Zorbas, to teaching her to fly. A tender family experience addressing solidarity, unconditional love and environmental care.

Do visible borders define one's homeland? Exile breaks up families, and years of separation produce the mirage of a reunion. Because without love we would have no homeland. Nowhere in the world would we belong, except there, where love is. (In Spanish with English supertitles)

Co-sponsored by Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, National Endowment for the Arts.

We have to seek in our roots the sources of love and loyalty. A search that is most relevant in the times it is our lot to live. A duet that takes us to many places and many situations through the power of memory.
