U.S. Première    -    Ages: 15+

Another view of the perilous life of the great Mexican painter, one version of whose biography was captured in Julie Taymor’s 2002 film. Under the cloak of immense love professed by and for her husband, the muralist Diego Rivera, Frida seeks various forms of oblivion. Her body battered by accident, her love tattered by infidelity, her immense desire to live contrast and afford testimony to her painting, both intimate and universal; strong images enveloped in superb Mexican music.
