Thanks to the generous support of the International Cultural Exchange (ICE) Program of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, Teatro Avante had the privilege of staging its acclaimed production of Aire frío (Cold Air), a freely adapted version of Virgilio Piñera's play by Raquel Carrió, directed by Mario Ernesto Sánchez, in five cities in Spain, as well as in Costa Rica, Brazil, Puerto Rico, and Perú.
Teatro Avante's International Hispanic Theatre Festival of Miami has received five prestigious international awards: Federico García Lorca, Ollantay and Fit de Cádiz - Atahualpa del Cioppo in Spain; Kusillo in Bolivia; and UCSUR in Peru, for "its enormous contribution to the development of Hispanic theatre in the Americas.”
