Vico Ortiz (Our Flag Means Death, Fionna and Cake) will present the World Premiere of their very first Solo Show Rise of a King as part of Fuerza Fest’s line up this May. In this burlesque piece of the heart, Vico takes us on a whimsical, astrological, gender-bending journey of their childhood using Drag to untether and tether themselves back with a heartfelt, hilarious and magical story of how they came to…Rise as a King. Masterfully directed by Ismanuel Rodriguez, whose eye for detail and imagination elevate the piece in ways that activate and nurture our inner child. Written by Vico Ortiz themselves (with the talented Nikky Levy coaching them through it all), produced by Boundless Theatre Company, Tantai Teatro and BoriQueer Productions.

Vico Ortiz is represented by Ivan de Paz (De Paz Management), Paradigm and CESD.

This production is part of the Fuerza Fest festival:
