«frida»
A performance-concert which unravels the limitless possibilities of a person, a true artist, doomed by their catastrophic fate. We explore the life and events of Frida Kahlo as told by the voice of her correspondence with her beloved Diego Rivera. Kahlo’s narrative is complimented by the lyrical poetry of Federico Garcia Lorca, as performed by Marina Alexandrova and Piotr Dranga (chamber symphony / EDM orchestra, accordion). The concert escorts the audience through the multidimensional colors of Kahlo’s life’s work. Intertwined into the fabric of the concert, we find the threads of art, childhood, beauty, love and pain. Experience the beauty and chaos of Kahlo’s mind through remnants she implemented into her everyday life. The stage is a reflection of the scenery Mother Nature engulfed her in; along with the masks of Native Indian idols, and the tears she shed gleaming like radiant diamonds. “Frida” brings to light importance of freedom of expression, the power to overcome, and the integrity of the individual.
