Based on the story of former gang member Victor Torres, the dance drama "Victor" brings to the stage the hope, desperation and redemption of a young Puerto Rican man who overcame drug addiction to become the guiding force behind the Richmond-based New Life for Youth Ministries and New Life Outreach Church. Ana Ines King, artistic director of the Latin Ballet of Virginia, uses material from a feature-length film about his life to create a moving story underscored with upbeat music. She says the show is not about religion, but about people helping people.
“Victor” will be performed at the Grace Street Theater at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 7, 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Sept. 8, and 4 p.m. Sept. 9.
934 W. Grace St. $10 to $20.
