Set during the Mexican Revolution, and told through table-top puppetry, Autoretrato de Fridita tells the story of young Frida Kahlo who becomes inspired by her father’s creativity. With his support, she uses her imagination and a box of paints to help her overcome challenges and create her own world. Adapted from Milagro’s original play Mijita Fridita, the production explores resilience, creativity, and identity. The touring puppet play comes from expert puppeteer and Milagro’s Education Coordinator, Yosmel López Ortiz.
This play is best enjoyed by kids in K-5 and their grownups.
