ArtsBridge: Through the Fire by Victor Almanzar

 

A remarkable one-person show that revolves around the captivating 
life story of Victor Almanzar beginning with a near-death experience 
that lands him in a Queens, NY hospital during the peak of the COVID 
pandemic. His life flashes before his eyes: his relatively innocent 
childhood in the Dominican Republic, his move as a youngster to 
NYC and the ensuing culture clash which leads him to gang-life and 
drugs. He struggles with his identity, finds love, and discovers his 
adulthood in the Marines (serving in Kosovo and Iraq). After a troubling period as a civilian he finds 
redemption by committing himself to a life in the Theater. Through the Fire was developed at the 
Labyrinth Theatre Company by Actors Studio members Victor Almanzar (writer and performer) and 
Elizabeth Canavan (director). It is a story of survival and self-forgiveness driven by Almanzar’s original 
hip-hop music. Funny, shocking, not always polite, but always authentic, the performance is 
60-minutes!
