Description

"Little Frida" is a tender, emotionally rich story inspired by the childhood of the Mexican painter and one of the most important and most fascinating figures of the 20th century, Frida Kahlo, who contracted polio at the age of six and, even at an early age, experienced what it means to be different. The story this production brings to the stage aims, on the one hand, to awaken the 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 tell in an accessible way a story about diversity, courage, will, 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 gained regional popularity, and the audience at the "Žar ptica" theatre fills every repeat performance to the last seat.
