Paradoxical Vacations of the Poetic Mind is an evening that delves into the dream world to retrieve alternate possibilities for life in the waking state. With these two one-person-shows on the same bill, one is left to ponder the potential impact of the dreaming mind on our daily lives. El Caballero de Paris (The Gentleman of Paris), originally commissioned by 'Miami Light Project' for the 'HERE and NOW' festival, now expanded, unravels the touching historical tale of a presumably mad vagabond poet who lived in Cuba. El Caballero is unearthed from the shadows of an oppressive system in a society controlled by fear, not honor. Through a series of recognizable characters the playwright shows his fascination with the choices his muse made to become the humble and enlightened individual that he was. Told through the present and those present in the past, from the Caballeros lips and those that lived around him, it echoes Cuba's lost battalion of incarcerated souls. The Cuban people of his time loved him and 'El Caballero de Paris' will see to it that we love him too.
In the 'World Premiere' of Directing a Dream we meet a Latin-American actor, born and raised in Miami, finding it difficult to land movie parts because of his mixed origins and looks. He spends evenings studying and chronicling his dreams in hopes of finding an evasive and missing identity within himself that can open up the creative avenues to surpass the stereotypes and succeed. The actor/pseudo-scientist hacks his brain through the stages of sleep to dissect the characters within his dreaming subconscious in order to search for the 'Director' who will give him the key image to work within the waking hours. The 'Director' ends up being a surprise for all who observe this hunt for oneness in a dreamscape made of our own times.The Dreams begin October 14th and run through November 6th
