Several years before the immersive Frida and Diego exhibit touring the globe Viellieu- Davis captured the essence of the artists’ tormented souls and genius in this evocative play. Crafted with rich Spanish songs, intermingled paintings and memories of Frida, we meet the broken artist through her “heart that was opened.” The audience experiences Frida and the awakening of an artist as if reading her personal diary, laid open for all to see, feel and celebrate.

Beautifully written, this play captures and dramatizes the artistic urge to revel in life and share wide the sheer joy of existence - in spite of - maybe because of - the pain and hardships along the way.

An incredible history brought to life so vividly and fully. Exquisite work.
