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, and with his support, uses her imagination and a box of paints to help her overcome challenges and create her own world. With the onset of Frida’s polio, her parents keep her away from bullies and other harm in the streets, but she is so lonely. As she begins experimenting with photography and art, she discovers a world of her own, beyond the four walls of her room, where she can play and dance – and simply be herself. There she discovers who she truly is and sets off on her own to become the legendary artist that continues to inspire.
