"Frida, a bomb wrapped in silk ribbons" theater play in Verona, Italy
05 May 2022
Produced by Modus for Orti Erranti Theatre, the play reveals the life of Frida Kahlo through her emotions and the transposition into a story of some of her most significant works.
A text taken from various writings and researches on the revolutionary Mexican painter and from a careful analysis of the emotions and thoughts underlying her works, all rendered in the form of a theatrical story.
A monologue by and with Laura Murari - directed by Andrea Castelletti- that goes beyond the monologue's dimension to become a pictorial work on stage, thanks to the sets created by Luca Altamura and Paola Muccio, the costumes by Laura Consolini and the make-up by Anna Penazzo, inspired by Kahlo's paintings. All of this is supported by original Mexican music of the time, the result of the musical advice of Pablo Sartori and performed live on stage by Antonio Canteri and Claudio Manzini.
From 6 to 8 May at Modus Theater, Verona.
