Frida Kahlo - La Comédie Bastille

Viva la vida, viva la libertad! In July 1954, one of the most intriguing figures of the twentieth century, the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, passed away. Seventy years after her death, her work continues to captivate, and her life as a free and committed woman resonates strongly in our contemporary era.

Making painting her reason for living, Frida pours into it both a pictorial testimony to her physical sufferings, her passionate loves and her moods of melancholy.

Echoing Frida's battered body, actress Laurence Ruatti throws herself wholeheartedly into this colourful ode that makes the magic of Kahlo's universe tangible.

Mexican Revolution, tragic accident, deconstructed love, sapphic passions, explosions of colour... this hour with Frida Kahlo is a total show, where images, text, music and dance galvanise the sensitive journey of a charismatic woman whose fertile resilience commands our admiration.
