Miami Premiere of "La Travesia" by Catalan Playrwright Josep Maria Miro

Event Description

Internationally renowned Catalán playwright Josep Maria Miró’s acclaimed play "La Travesía" (The Journey) will have its Miami premiere of a new adaptation when South Florida's own Arca Images brings its production to the Westchester Cultural Arts Center from July 11 through 20. Presented in partnership with the Center, Mexico's Ajedrez Eventos, Roxy Theater Group and Miami-Dade County Auditorium, this will be a special Spanish version, with simultaneous English translation using wireless headphones. This powerful, poignant and thought-provoking work intricately weaves together themes of faith, compassion and moral dilemmas through the transformative journey of Sister Cecilia.

The play is set against the backdrop of a village ravaged by war, violence and despair. The narrative unfolds as Cecilia cradles a dying girl in her arms, igniting a cascade of religious and ethical challenges that test her beliefs to the core. When the nun crosses paths with Rai, a photographer, and Isaac, a member of an NGO, the play delves into the blurred lines between intentions and actions, challenging the characters to confront their values and choices in the face of adversity.
