Her stay in Madrid allowed Amira to develop an important artistic proposition through dramaturgy. In 1948, her play Piltrafa, a Colombian drama that won first prize in the Spanish and Latin American Playwrights Contest, premiered at the María Guerrero Theater. Her play Madre borrada also premiered, presented by the Társila Criado Company. The play would go on to premiere at the Murillo Theater in Barranquilla in 1943. Las viudas de Zacarías, a one-act farce of coastal Colombian manners, premiered at the Fine Arts Theater in Barranquilla in December 1944.[1] The story El triunfo del amor was adapted for ballet and premiered in 1956.
