Un espectáculo bilingüe sobre la gran pintora mexicana, Frida Kahlo, que combina música, arte visual, narración de cuentos, títeres y la participación del público. El espectáculo contiene títeres (de guante, de dedos y de varillas), proyecciones de las obras más emblemáticas de Frida, combinadas con animaciones de las ilustraciones del libro de cuentos, Los Colores de Frida. Mientras se representa la historia, las niñas y niños también verán la creación de una pintura en la escena. Todo esto en un marco en donde las expresiones, el folclor, la música y el color de la cultura mexicana, serán los protagonistas principales para contar la historia de una de las grandes artistas de América.

A bilingual performance about the great Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo, which combines music, visual arts, story narratives, puppets and the audience’s participation. There are three Fridas on stage –the painter, the singer and the storyteller- and the three will transport the young audience on a biographical journey where colors heal. The performance features puppets (hand puppets, finger puppets and rod puppets), projections of the artist’s most emblematic paintings, together with the animated illustrations of the storybook Los Colores de Frida/Frida’s Colors. While the performance is going on, children will be able to watch the creation of an artwork on stage. The expressions, folklore, music and color of Mexican culture will be the main protagonists, in order to tell the story of one of the greatest artists in the Americas.

This performance is part of the Hot Theatre Summer Series 2022.
