SOPHIA MEDINA ▼ SOUTH BEACH IN TUNE Set against the backdrop of the 1991 Pan American Games in Havana and the Russian departure from Cuba, Two Sisters and a Piano is a compelling play by Pulitzer Prize-winner Nilo Cruz.

As they await changes in Cuba and their fate, the sisters grapple with shifting global politics and the uncertain paths to freedom.

Directed by Carlos Díaz, the tragicomedy explores the fable of an old madam, Celestina, whose tricks bring to- gether two young lovers and ultimately lead to tragedy.

Thanks to a sudden boost in popularity with Gen Z on TikTok, Mitski is more popu- lar than ever on the heels of the release of her seventh album last fall. However, her previ- ous efforts, like Be the Cowboy and Bury Me at Makeout Creek, have wowed critics and audi- ences for a while now. Mitski’s greatest ap- peal is her introspective lyrics and a dynamic blend of rock, pop, and folk, which she uses to explore themes of identity and love. 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, at the Fillmore Miami Beach, 1700 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; 305-673-7300; fillmoremb.com.
