While Amira de la Rosa was active with her stage group, the theater was experiencing a boom, and several controversies arose at the time around theatrical issues. She once again advocated for the creation of a national company, sponsored by the state, that would disseminate universal dramaturgy and promote and make national theater production known. Amira was of the opinion that stage arts would not progress without this type of company; it was therefore a necessity, a national priority. The year Amira died, the construction of Barranquilla's Municipal Theater began and the city paid homage to her by naming the building in her honor.
