Victoria Blue

Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts

The fall of patriarchal power through a fragmented journey through King Lear's memory is the premise that sustains this contemporary perspective on the Shakespearean classic, where the internal confrontations between father and daughter and the consequences of power take center stage. Among them, a young figure—the jester, the echo, the bridge—bursts forth with truths that can no longer be silenced because in Lear, time stops moving; it repeats itself, dissolves, and opens like a wound that transforms the old King's memory into a battlefield.

Lear

Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County

A fan favorite returns to the Arsht Center. Born and raised in Miami to Afro-Cuban and Puerto Rican parents, singer-songwriter Victoria Blue credits her diverse upbringing for who she is today. Her music is a fusion of pop, R&B and soul with a strong Latin flair. Awarded “Best Outstanding Vocalist” at the National Music Festival in New York, Blue is an international force to be reckoned with. Her Spanish language music can be compared to La India, Celia Cruz, Juan Luis Guerra and Jose Feliciano. Her English language music gravitates toward Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Alicia Keys and Gloria Gaynor. Bridging the gap between American and Latin cultures, Blue brings a diversified sound and electrified vocal style to Live on the Plaza.
