FRIDA… A SELF PORTRAIT

The Indiana Repertory Theater hosted a special production of Frida Kahlo’s life and invited Frida’s Flowers to partner. The play, entitled Frida… A Self Portrait, was a one-woman, multi-character show depicting each life stage of Frida Kahlo. Her endurance, pain, grief, joy, agony, creative agency, genius, kindness, perspective, and love captivated me. I created several pieces for the show and rotated them each week of the performance during March & April.

Iconic Mexican painter Frida Kahlo was a woman who lived boldly, loved wildly, and painted prolifically in order to see herself and the world around her more clearly. With stunning stagecraft and irresistible charm, Brazilian writer and performer Vanessa Severo unearths powerful common ground between herself and Frida, inviting us to experience the artist’s vibrant, tumultuous life and rare genius.
