Country:
Award-winning playwright Kaite O'Reilly's play "The 9 Fridas" premieres in Taiwan at the Taipei Arts Festival.
Kaite O’Reilly’s The 9 Fridas was commissioned by Sherman Cymru Theatre (Wales, UK), and is exclusively licensed to Taipei Arts Festival to conduct the premiere outside the UK. Directed by renowned UK-based, Phillip Zarrilli, co-produced by Mobius Strip Theatre and Hong Kong Repertory Theater, The 9 Fridas challenges conventional ways of looking at the world-famous female Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo - an everywoman whose life has great resonance for today. The 9 Fridas explores disabillity, love, creativity, and politics. It is a salute to the artist as well as the stubbornness, tenacity and passion in life.
