About the Company: MEPHISTO TEATRO is an international project that brings together actors from Cuba and Spain who are renowned figures in the contemporary stage. Many of the company’s Cuban artists (actors, dancers, and musicians) are involved in Spain in several projects in theater, film, and television. Under Liuba Cid’s direction, the company studies thoroughly the theatrical act proposing bridges between different aesthetic currents and opening its doors to classical and contemporary projects from Cuba, Spain, and Latin America. Mephisto Teatro started in 2009 with Lope de Vega’s classic Fuenteovejuna, commissioned by Almagro’s Classical Theater Festival as its closing production. In 2011, Caceres’ Classical Theater Festival commissioned Cid’s version of Rojas Zorrillas’ Donde hay agravios no hay celos. The company has traveled throughout Spain and internationally invited to the most important festivals of classical theater. Liuba Cid (director and playwright) has directed more than 50 plays including H. Müller’s Medea Material (Havana 1991) and Landscape with Argonauts (Havana 1991), A. Artaud’s Pantomime (Havana 1990), Javier Tomeo’s Historias Mínimas (Spain 1994), S. M. Bermúdez’s La noche de los Quijotes (Spain 2005), and Liuba Cid’s Los Virtuosos (Spain 2012).

Tribute Includes Five Productions from Cuba’s Most Important Playwrig
August 31-Sept. 2: Los Siervos / The Serfs. Teatro de la Luna (Cuba). Director – Raúl Martín
After three sold-out performances of Delirio Habanero last October at the Miami Dade County Auditorium, Teatro de la Luna returns to Miami with Los siervos / The Serfs. Written in 1955 as a mockery of the false ideology of Soviet Communism, it is an anti-bourgeois farce that derides hierarchies, dictatorships, and the many uses and abuses of power that determine human conduct. Its director takes advantage of absurdist techniques, singing and dancing to bring us a brilliant and funny play that from stage design to acting techniques is far from the realism we are used to seeing in the contemporary American stage.
September 7-9: Una caja de zapatos vacía / An Empty Shoe Box. E. G. Productions (Miami). Director – Eloy Ganuza
Twenty-five years after the world premiere in Miami, Eloy Ganuza brings to the stage a new version of Piñera’s classic about power relationships. Three characters rehearse the transfer of power to the mightiest. This new production highlights the interconnections between gender, sexuality and politics through the use of black humor, music and dance.
September 14-22: Carrying Water in a Sieve: an evening of two one acts: You Always Forget Something and False Alarm. UM Jerry Herman Ring Theatre (Miami). Director - Henry Fonte
Translation by Kate Eaton
Produced by the University of Miami’s Department of Theatre Arts and Jerry Herman Ring Theatre, these two delightful one-act comedies highlight Piñera’s playful sense of humor. The first, You Always Forget Something, is a fanciful comedy about four eccentric women who try to make order out of a capricious society, but by doing so they create chaos, disorder, and mayhem. The other, False Alarm, hilariously portrays the predicament of a man charged with murder who struggles to save his crumbling sanity in the face of a demented widow and an irrational judge. Both short plays exemplify Piñera’s unique writing style and his wonderfully absurd sense of humor.
