Theatre

A bilingual performance about the great Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo, combines music, visual arts, story narratives, puppets, and the audience's participation. There are three Fridas on stage -the painter, the singer, and the storyteller- and the three will transport the young audience on a biographical journey where colors heal. The performance features puppets (hand puppets, finger puppets, and rod puppets), projections of the artist's most emblematic paintings, together with the animated illustrations of the storybook Los colores de Frida/Frida's Colors. While the performance is going on, children will be able to watch the creation of an artwork on stage. The expressions, folklore, music, and color of Mexican culture will be the main protagonists, in order to tell the story of one of the greatest artists in the Americas. Un espectaculo bilingue sobre la pintora mexicana, Frida Kahlo, que combina musica, arte visual, narracion de cuentos, titeres y el publico.

Alacrán o La Ceremonia / Scorpion or The Ceremony, surge de todo su esplendor gitano desangrando su historia entre la pulla, la zambra y la espina. Este canalla se reúne cada noche consigo mismo, se arranca con un quejío flamenco, le echa valor y sale a interpretar a 'La Cangrejo', la que fue su amor y quien ya no está. Alacrán viene a recordarla mientras se instala en la tragicomedia negra, divertida y absurda que es su vida. Historia de amor, triángulo amoroso en el mundo de las tabernas sórdidas españolas. A story of a love triangle in the heart of sordid Spanish taverns. Scorpion or The Ceremony emerges from the gypsy splendor that allows its history to bleed out amidst obscenities, the zambra dance, and thorns. This scoundrel gathers with himself each night, thrusts himself into the performance with a flamenco cry, sprinkles it with courage, and begins his interpretation of 'La Cangrejo', the woman who was the love of his life and is no longer here.

Azucena busca el amor y el sentido de la vida, luego de la pérdida de su madre y el retiro laboral. Transita el duelo, junto a su amiga Graciela, rastreando nuevas señales y motivaciones en sus visitas diarias a un viejo cine de barrio que se resiste a morir. Allí conocen a Aníbal, y este es el disparador de un juego entre la realidad y la ficción, donde también aparecen elementos sobrenaturales, a través de prácticas esotéricas que podrían establecer una nueva interpretación del presente y una línea de comunicación con el más allá. La obra cuenta con tecnología sonora binaural, por lo que será escuchada con auriculares. La obra de teatro sera presentada en español.
