Más de 155 obras llegaron desde toda Iberoamérica. El 29 de agosto, Una Noche a la Deriva dejó la página y se encontró con el público en una lectura dramatizada de Open Scene.

Una sala, un grupo de actores y una historia entre el absurdo, la violencia, la amistad y el miedo.

See you at the next one.

A look back at Pasta Night, August 22.

We made pasta from scratch, poured the wine, shared stories, and sat down to dinner together.

A small table by design.

Keep an eye out for the next one.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Saturday for Una noche a la deriva, the winning play of the V Escena Abierta International Playwriting Contest.

It was a beautiful evening of theater, conversation, and community at the Maitland Art Center, and a reminder of why we continue creating spaces where new dramatic writing can meet an audience.

Our gratitude to playwright Antonio Oliveira Pérez, director Eliana Stratico, our cast and creative team, and everyone who spent the evening with us.

And Escena Abierta continues: our next staged reading is September 10 with El Guernica de Dora Maar, by David Barbero, Jury Special Mention 2025.

And the next chapter is already ‘at the printer’: in just two days, we’ll announce the winning play of the VI Escena Abierta International Playwriting Contest.

Thank you for being part of it.

Before his words take the stage tomorrow night, meet the playwright behind Una Noche a la Deriva.

Antonio Oliveira Pérez is from Zamora, Spain. He studied Art History at the universities of Salamanca and Verona, teaches at a secondary school, and co-directs the theater group Zarandaja, which has twice received Spain’s national Premio Buero de Teatro Joven.

He is also an actor and a saxophonist with Suricato Morse, and his writing has been recognized in theater and jazz competitions in Spain.

Tomorrow night, his play Una Noche a la Deriva—winner of Open Scene’s 2025 Escena Abierta International Playwriting Contest—comes to the stage in Maitland.

Saturday, August 29 · 7:30 PM

Spanish with English surtitles · Free admission

Sometimes the most interesting way into a play is through the person who wrote it. Tomorrow, we get to meet Antonio through his words.

Tomorrow night in Maitland: a play chosen from more than 155 submissions from across Ibero-America.

Una Noche a la Deriva, by Spanish playwright Antonio Oliveira, uses absurd humor to look at war, fear, friendship, dignity—and what art can still do when the world becomes violent.

This is a staged reading: actors, scripts in hand, with the words and the conversation they open at the center of the experience.

Saturday, August 29 · 7:30 PM
Art & History Museums of Maitland
231 W. Packwood Ave., Maitland
Spanish with English surtitles · Free admission

Open Scene presents the official poster for VI FIAE 2026, created by María Camila Bernal Toro, aka Remedios. Her visual language moves through nature, memory, ink, and dreamlike detail, with the feminine figure and organic forms at the center of this year’s image.

VI FIAE takes place October 12–18, 2026 at Maitland Art Center.

Full program coming soon. Save the date.

More than 155 plays arrived from across Ibero-America. This one won.

Una Noche a la Deriva, by Spanish playwright Antonio Oliveira, won Escena Abierta 2025. An absurd fable about war, fear, and laughter as shelter. The jury praised its emotional depth and its ability to resonate far beyond a single country.

We read it aloud on August 29. Actors, scripts in hand, nothing between you and the text.

After the reading, stay for a conversation with the playwright, the director, and the cast about the play and the process of bringing it to life.

Language: Spanish
Duration: 2 hours
RSVP via the link in our bio.

Más de 155 obras llegaron de toda Iberoamérica. Esta ganó.

Una Noche a la Deriva, del dramaturgo español Antonio Oliveira, obtuvo el primer lugar en Escena Abierta 2025. Una fábula absurda sobre la guerra, el miedo y la risa como refugio. El jurado destacó su profundidad emocional y su capacidad de hablar más allá de un solo país.

La leemos en voz alta el 29 de agosto. Actores, guion en mano, nada entre el texto y quien escucha.

Al finalizar la lectura, nos quedaremos para una conversación con el autor, la directora y el elenco sobre la obra y el proceso de llevarla a escena.

Duración: 2 horas

At nineteen he thought a kitchen was a free canvas. Then he worked in one.

Carlos Camacho writes in the July issue about five years in Orlando kitchens: the 12-hour shifts, the missed holidays, the sleepless nights, and the moment he understood that creative vision and cost control have to move in the same choreography or nothing leaves the pass.

What he arrives at is quieter than the fantasy he started with. Respect for the ingredient. Pride in the raw, honest reality of the line.

Four days from now we open a kitchen to eight people and let them find out.

Six to eight people, one table, and pasta that starts as flour and egg.

On August 22, we invite you to a hands-on workshop on the museum campus: making pasta from scratch, stories about Italian culture, music chosen for the evening, and a dinner everyone sits down to together at the end.

You leave having cooked, eaten, and talked to seven strangers who will not be strangers by dessert.

Seats are limited because the table is.

Led by Chef Carlos Camacho.

Language: English.
Price: $90.
