The Life of Frida Kahlo: A One–Woman Show
Lara Gallardo
Tuesday, 08 Oct 2002 at 7:00 pm – Brunnier Gallery, Scheman Building
Lara Gallardo presents a portrait of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo whose works depict her personal saga: the disabilities she suffered as a result of an accident; her turbulent marriage to Mexican muralist Diego Rivera; her involvement with the Mexican Revolution; and, ultimately, her indomitable will to create. She is equally well known for the cult of personality surrounding her memory as for her artistic accomplishment. Lara Gallaro performs in film and theater in Mexico. Frida Kahlo was writen for Lara by Mexican writer and director, Pepe Loza.
