Nunca digas nunca (Never Say Never), the comedy film special by actress and comedian Marisé Álvarez (Steven Soderbegh’s Che and Obi-Wan Kenobi) and a concert by the traditional music ensemble Versos de Mujer headline the arrival of the BoriCorridor Tour in Chicago, an initiative designed to connect artists from Puerto Rico with communities in the Puerto Rican diaspora. Under the theme “No sueltes la bandera” (Don’t Let Go of the Flag), both events will take place in February and April at the Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center, 4048 W. Armitage Ave., which is celebrating 55 years as a cultural pillar of Chicago’s Puerto Rican community. Nunca digas nunca will be presented on Friday, February 20 at 8 pm. Known for her work in film, television, and theater with the Teatro Breve collective, Álvarez will deliver a show full of witty humor, warmth, and honesty, sharing anecdotes about everyday life, family, and personal challenges. Tickets for both events are available at www.boritix.com.
