Originally directed by Robert Lepage (Ex Machina), director Lyndee-Jane Rutherford and designer Ian Harman (Midsummer, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Ache) put their spin on this exquisite piece of theatre, inspired by Kahlo’s Intimate Diary. Historical events are overlaid with her paintings. Documentary texts are used alongside her most personal diary entries. Images flourish where words alone cannot convey the sheer strangeness and intensity of her life.
La Casa Azul (The Blue House) is Kahlo’s birthplace in Mexico, where she lived with husband artist Diego Rivera and where she died in 1954
