Actívate by 123 Andrés is packed with positive vibes and high-energy Latin beats. “Actívate” means “get active” and true to that spirit, the audience participates every step of the way – helping recover some missing birds, untangling hilarious mishaps, contributing ideas, and more.

OCT 7
Little Night is an immersive installation playing with the night’s fantastic characters, humor, and the absurd and surreal. Inside, stars travel with their bags, gentlemen with umbrellas fall from the sky, colored spots invade everything, and multitudes of cars try to dodge them. Little Night brings suggestive images that stimulate the senses, that cause children to play, that change shape and color when they are touched and when they are chased.
From 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. (Showings at 2:00, 3:00 and 4:00 p.m.) at the On.Stage Black Box at the Miami-Dade County Auditorium
Showings at 2:00, 3:00 and 4:00 p.m.

Miedo come todo… Sueños al vuelo is a performance that uses the language of contemporary dance in its search for dialogue with the little ones. A bet on living and tangible relationships, on visual stimuli that make the imagination fly, a half-told story with unrecognizable characters that each kid can finish shaping. A definitive invitation to say No! To fear and let dreams fly.
7:00 p.m. at the On.Stage Black Box at the Miami-Dade County Auditorium

About the Artists:
Rosalía Mowgli, Spanish singer-songwriter and guitarist with a Colombian mother and a Spanish father. Her first classical guitar studies were in Bogotá under the guidance of maestro Alvaro Bedoya at the renowned Luis A. Calvo Academy, giving her first concert at the age of 7 at the Jorge Eliécer Gaitán Theater . She grew up in Spain and studied at the Madrid Conservatory with Anri Shibata. She returned to Colombia in 1983 and came into contact with emerging jazz artists such as Antonio Arnedo and Satoshi, also taking an interest in the salsa of the time.
In 2014, she turned into songs three of the Versos Vegetales by the poet Antonio Rubio, and a poem by the Spanish Nobel Prize winner Juan Ramón Jimenez that she would include in her record production “The Enchanted School”. This album has become an educational musical project for adults and children that, through participatory concerts , offers the opportunity to reflect on the need to regenerate the planet in its human and ecological dimension. Rosalia Mowgli’s passion for composition and writing has led her to create training workshops for singer-songwriters, in different formats, which she dictates in the places she visits in her career as an artist.
In 2023 , she recorded a monograph on La Escuela Encantada for the Spanish television TVE2 La Aventura del Saber and the quartet embarked on a tour of Colombia with 7 concerts for the Julio Mario Santo Domingo Theater, known as the Teatro Mayor, where they will perform in their Cien Mil Niños al Mayor program.
