Frida: the play retracing the life of artist Frida Kahlo

Published by Philippine de Sortiraparis · Published on October 8, 2024 at 11:28 a.m.
Frida, written and directed by Paõla Duniaud, retraces the life of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. A victim of its own success, the play has been extended at the Manufacture des Abbesses until November 30, 2024.

Having discovered the life of Frida Kahlo through film and television, Paõla Duniaud has now decided to trace the extraordinary life of the Mexican artist in the theater. In this biographical play, performed at the Manufacture des Abbesses, we should learn a lot about the complex character of Frida Kahlo.

Paõla Duniaud plunges the viewer into 1960, at the dawn of feminism. She presents Frida Kahlo 's avant-garde approach to a wide range of subjects, including sexuality and self-acceptance. An emcee against her will, the author looks back at the origins of the craze surrounding the Mexican painter.

On stage, the spectator enters Frida's family life, with the presence of her father, mother and sister, as well as her friend Alejandro Gomez. Paõla Duniaud highlights Frida's destiny, which echoes our own times, as well as her provocative art and political commitments.

Trained at the Cours Florent, Paõla Duniaud is an actress, director and producer. You can find her in Le voyage du siècle,Olivier Dahan 's latest film, or in La Veuve de Saverini for France TV. She has also just finished writing a long-form series and is directing her second play.
