Over 200 years later, Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein poses and allows readers to ponder the questions that still remain very much relevant; questions about ambition, family, love, and belonging. The same questions, still conveyed in Nick Dear’s adaptation of Frankenstein at the Arsht Center directed by Stuart. Meltzer.

Deering Estate was home to wealthy Chicago industrialist, Charles Deering, and his family during the winter months of the 1920s. The estate is a historic site listed on the National Register of Historic Places and welcomes fans of both historical museums and nature. The original buildings on the estate provide a look into the lives of Deering and his family, while the grounds of the estate provide access to Biscayne Bay and nature trails.

Cada una de nosotras es una desierta
Solitaria y vasta
Quemada
Nos estiramos por siempre
Each of us a desert
Solitary and vast
Burned
We stretch forever
