Description

"Little Frida" is a tender, emotion-filled story inspired by the childhood of the Mexican painter and one of the most significant and fascinating figures of the 20th century, Frida Kahlo, who contracted polio at the age of six and experienced being different from an early age. The story this play brings to the stage aims, on one hand, to awaken our imagination and introduce us to the vivid colors and atmosphere of the "Casa Azul", the authentic family home of the Kahlos from the early 20th century, and, on the other hand, to gently tell a story about diversity, courage, willpower, and perseverance.

Text and direction

The text by Croatian dramaturge Jelena Kovačić premiered in 2021 at the City Theatre "Žar ptica", directed by Anica Tomić. The play has gained regional popularity, and the audience of the "Žar ptica" theatre fills every revival performance to the last seat.
