Shackled by restraints of reality, Frida finds herself unable to paint. In a moment of desperation, she re-discovers her life source—the other Frida.
Shackled by restraints of reality, Frida finds herself unable to paint. In a moment of desperation, she re-discovers her life source—the other Frida. Calle Allende is inspired by an entry in Frida Kahlo’s diary “The Two Fridas”. Calle Allende, a puppet theatre production, brings to life Frida’s struggle to reconcile her broken self and dying inspiration. Frida’s pain has clouded her, but in a moment of clarity she soon realizes that without her imagination she will lose her lifeline.
Recommended for audiences age 14 and up for adult themes of pain, death and miscarriage.
