We're Taking our TALENT to the STREET...
... Flagler Street!
Flagler Street Stages:
• 159 E. Flagler Street • 132 E. Flagler Street |
Olympia Theater launches Street Stages, bringing FREE community programming to Downtown Miami’s Flagler Street on Friday and Saturday evenings through March 2021. Since we can’t present entertainment inside, Olympia brings the show outside so everyone can enjoy Miami’s talented Performing Artists in a safe, socially distanced, responsible way.
Every Friday and Saturday from 4:00p to 8:00p Singer/Songwriters, Jazz/Pop Ensembles, Jugglers, Electronica, Comedians, Opera and Performance Art pop up in front of Storefront Art Installations at two locations on East Flagler Street. Sets are short and a perfect fit between drinks and bites in Downtown restaurants and bars. Street Stages is part of the #Flagler District #SafeStreets / Alt-B initiative, activating vacant storefronts with Art, and is funded by Miami DDA, Miami-Dade County, Florida Division of Cultural Affairs and supported by Flagler District BID. |

Afrobeta: Illusion Motel LIVE Things are not always as they appear, and it’s up to us to approach this as a REinterpretation instead of a MISinterpretation. This is the essence of illusion, which Afrobeta invites all to enter on their fourth full-length album, Illusion Motel. A title initially inspired by an actual physical sign, its long-form development has rendered it symbolic, with songs and stories taking on new shapes as life and its time(line) became starkly unpredictable. Still, along the way, there was one constant to facilitate navigation – a vibrant 15-year artistic partnership between composer/producer Tony “Smurphio” Laurencio and vocalist/lyricist Cuci Amador that’s landed them on some of the world’s biggest stages, with unyielding support and ecstatic anticipation over what might come next. |
