Abre Camino Collecive

Abre Camino Collective is an entertainment company comprised of visual, theatre, literary, and performing artists redefining the American narrative through radical storytelling. Together as artists and collaborators, Victoria Collado and Vanessa Garcia, co-founders of Abre Camino, have worked in theatre, TV, journalism, the visual arts, academia, radio, the literary arts, and film. They have Masters degrees, doctorates, and have worked on Broadway. Most recently, they created The Amparo Experience, the immersive hit play that People en Español called “Miami’s Hottest Ticket” and had a sold-out 8 month run in 2019.

Our Mission

We believe that great storytelling is specific enough to be, just that — specific. That the word “universality” is overrated. We all have a connective humanity, but we won’t always “relate” to a particular experience. Our goal is not to start from a unifying place, but to end in one. After you see our work, it is the knowledge of the work that creates the human connection, not an “innate” universality. We do believe the process of experiencing good art has the power to transcend race, gender, class and create change.
