A performance artist takes up residency in a blue-chip contemporary Miami art gallery to stage a controversial performance art piece: He will live as a dog for a month, biting visitors and being trained and domesticated.

Next summer, Miami New Drama will proudly present the return of Viva la Parranda, an original musical that pulses with passion and storytelling. Immerse yourself in the vibrant rhythms and dances of Afro-Venezuelan soul as Betsayda Machado and La Parranda El Clavo—her village’s own multi-generational band—bring their powerful story to life.
