THEATER
"The Zionist: A Family Storm"
Miami New Drama
Thursday, April 9 through Sunday, May 3
A prominent Jewish family, fractured by the politics and aftermath of October 7, gathers for a fragile reunion at a luxury Caribbean resort. But as a sudden hurricane bears down outside their bungalow, an even fiercer storm erupts within—forcing them to confront old wounds, clashing values, and the ties that may no longer bind them. In this urgent and deeply human world premiere from acclaimed playwright S. Asher Gelman (Afterglow), The Zionists: A Family Storm lays bare how identity, politics, and history can tear families apart—and the struggle to hold them together in an increasingly divided world.
Cost: $40, $70, $85 Thursday and Friday; $45, $75, $90, Saturday and Sunday, include fees

Mindy Solomon Gallery
March 7-April 18
- Jack Kabangu: I Have No Body, I Am Somebody
Featuring a series of portraits rendered in his iconic, self-taught style, Kabangu introduces a dynamic and psychologically charged visual language. His figures — elongated, introspective, and subtly fragmented — exist in spaces that feel both intimate and unsettled, mirroring the layered nature of identity and displacement.'
- Sydnie Jimenez: Stars in Your Eyes
The exhibition title, Stars in Your Eyes, serves as a linguistic pivot. It evokes the shimmering energy of passion and ambition while simultaneously nodding to the disorienting sensation of "seeing stars” — the dazed confusion that often follows a blow to the senses. For Jimenez, the eyes are not merely anatomical; they are the "windows to the soul" and the primary vessels for our perception of the universe.
- Natalia Arbelaez and Daniela Gomez Paz: Cuerpos cósmicos, between the earth and the skies / entre los cielos y la tierra
