Join us as Mad Cat Theatre Company's rollicking, rhyming storytellers retell the tale of Maewyn Succat (AKA St. Patrick) with cabaret style shenanigans like only Mad Cat can!!! March 4-6, 2010- world premiere! Here & Now: 2010 Carnival Studio Theater, Arsht Center, Miami Rudi Goblen, Juraj Kojs and Jillian Mayer will present four exciting world premiere performances in Miami Light Project's ground-breaking commissioning/presenting partnership with the Adrienne Arsht Center, Here & Now. Here & Now yields an annual bounty of innovative, eye-opening new works; these up-close-and-personal world premieres feature some of Miami's most promising emerging performing artists creating new theater, dance, music and multi-media performances. March 11-13, 2010- US premiere! The Closest Farthest Away Byron Carlyle Theater, Miami Beach The Closest Farthest Away (La Extranable Lejania) is the first of its kind - a multi-media theater piece created by filmmakers, theater artists, and musicians from the US and Cuba. Using cinema and live performance to cross the impossible boundaries that keep the US and Cuba apart; multi-channel video installation is projected against live actors to create a dramatic metaphor for the impossibility of exchange between two countries. Tapping into the physical presence of live performance and the defiance of space and time that is cinema, an impossible world is created-one in which Cuban and American performers exist together on the same stage. April 16- 17, 2010- Miami debut! The Butterfly Garden Carnival Studio Theater, Arsht Center, Miami Enter a spellbinding world of Farfalle, The Butterfly Garden, as beautiful botanical images and captivating rainforest sounds engulf you as a simple studio morphs into a magical playground that responds to the graceful movement of two beautiful dancers. Even bigger thrills come when young ones from the audience are invited to touch and explore the glowing interactive garden themselves. May 1, 2010 Miami On Stage Byron Carlyle Theater, Miami Beach Miami Light Project & FUNDarte's present Miami On Stage, an evening with three of the most provocative solo Hip Hop theater artists in Miami. Rudi Goblen's Insanity Isn't is a dance and spoken word whirlwind of 9 to 5 mania. In Audelco award winner Summer Hill Seven's Shakespeare N. Haarlem, a poet is sentenced to death for the new crime of lyrical terrorism. Meshaun Lebrone Arnold's award winning The Hate U Give is a glimpse into late rapper Tupac Shakur's internal struggle with race, power, fame and infamy. May 15, 2010- Miami debut! Reggie Watts The Colony Theater, Miami Beach Evading capture or definition, Reggie Watts is the spellbinding vocal artist whose improvised songs of looped vocals delight audiences internationally. In his unique sets, Reggie's subjects range from ancient history, technology, magic, spirit elves, dragons, mythology and theology to pop culture. Reggie loves to disorientate and confuse people in the most entertaining way and creates an evening of improvised sonic revolution incorporating hip-hop, trip-hop, 80's pop alternative, nu-metal and classical opera so no two songs, or shows are ever the same! |
