La Soirée des Arts – Mediterranean Edition

Les Ailes du Désir Foundation (LADD), Miami’s only nonprofit dedicated to the Circus Arts, presents the 12th edition of its acclaimed Soirée des Arts series, LA SOIRÉE DES ARTS – MEDITERRANEAN EDITION on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at 7:30 PM, at the Sanctuary of the Arts in Coral Gables, in partnership with the City of Coral Gables.

This event will feature Creative Director Milena Straczynski and songwriter/composer Alba Maria. The evening will draw on the elegance and Mediterranean Revival heritage of Coral Gables, blending aerial acrobatics, live music, and contemporary movement into an immersive celebration of grace, virtuosity, and wonder for audiences of all ages.

At the heart of the production’s creative direction is a deeply intentional approach to performance, with each act staged less as spectacle and more as heartfelt storytelling. Drawing on composer Alba Maria’s Spanish roots, the original score moves between traditional Mediterranean folk forms and contemporary composition, giving the choreography a heartfelt, emotional throughline. The result is a production that reaches beyond visual wonder toward something more personal, inviting audiences into a shared, almost sacred experience of movement, sound, and connection.

This performance will also feature an elite lineup of internationally acclaimed artists and rising young local talent, along with jaw-dropping moments and emotional depth for all ages. Whether it’s a family night out, a youth discovering the arts, or an art enthusiast, La Soirée des Arts – Mediterranean Edition is designed for everyone, highlighting the transformative power of circus arts, education, and performance to create connections and ignite imaginations across the community.
