Alright y’all! As I gear to hopefully tour with “Rise of a King” next year, I know Fuerza Fest in NYC wants me back in May of 2026 so I gotta get cracking and am taking this time to make sure I start with the first “shitty” draft. What you’ll read below is mostly the concept of the show and what I wanna explore. As you read this, Nikki Levy (who also helped me develop Rise of a King), has read the first full draft and we’re addressing notes and beginning to shape this! Idk if I’ll share full drafts here heheh but I definitely wanna share stories! This is gonna be an even deeper reach into the depths of my shadows and really confront my ego as I reflect all the ways in which I’ve been a fixer in the past. I can already tell this is gonna be a truly transformative experience. Grateful for y’all and your support! Excited to be vulnerable <3

FIX IT VICO!

A new solo show by Vico Ortiz

DRAFT 1

Writing in a beach in Loiza, Puerto Rico after the Leo New Moon Ritual

The concept of “fix it vico” started when I was having a brunch with an amazing polycule in NYC back in March 2025. This was a few months before the premiere of my very first solo show “Rise of a King”. I was making jokes about always feeling like being “the fixer” in relationships, knowing fully well at that point in my life that being “the fixer” isn’t a flex hehe. But what does that MEAN?! WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN YOU ARE ALWAYS THE FIXER?!? It’s easier to find fault in someone else's behavior and try to fix it in order to accommodate to my own discomforts. It’s easier to outsource rather than looking within to what it is I actually need.
