The singular Frida Kahlo comes to life through the spirit of playwright and performer Vanessa Severo in this stunning one-woman show. Severo explores the parallels between their two lives as she embodies the many facets of this complex artist. With music and movement, Frida’s evocative art, multilayered love life, and distinctive philosophy are sketched out in a visual dynamo of a piece that encourages us all to realize we are not alone.
