Inspired by Frida Kahlo
The Fridas is a duet inspired by the painting “The Two Fridas” by Frida Kahlo. It explores the complex theme of human identity through a relationship of complicity and contrast between two dancers. Specular and divergent movements embody internal conflicts and harmony. At the same time physical expressiveness and the use of space (in the Komoco language considered as a living element capable of uniting and dividing), represent two complementary and essential elements in the research.
Designed for theatrical but also unconventional and museum spaces, The Fridas lends itself to being observed from different perspectives, thus adding nuances to the research into the human essence and celebrating its complexity. The ending, however, suggests an ironic acceptance of the chaos of life: through parodic movements the dancers find in humor the balm to continue facing the challenges of existence.
