Frida

Repertoire / FRIDA

 

2017

 

Director – Choreographer: Éva Duda

 

 

entertaining, multidisciplinary, unexpected

 

One of our most popular, most often performed and the most resourceful projects, Frida combines theatre, contemporary dance and visual arts, through all of which we evoke the personal and artistic life of the well known painter Frida Kahlo. The main storyline is provided by a new musical drama, played and sung by great actors and accompanied by live music. Dance, acting and singing all play essential roles in this work, which evokes the beginning of the 20th century Mexico, New York and Paris. A fourth layer is represented by Frida Kahlo’s and Diego Rivera’s paintings projected on different surfaces of the set, many of which are mobile and can be placed at different spots in the space. The result is an extremely colorful, exciting atmosphere with some scenes turning into exhibitions – all of which makes the project truly unique.
