At Leipzig Opera House from August 19-24: A Tribute to Frida Kahlo - Viva la Vida
In August 2025, the Leipzig Opera will play host to "Viva la Vida - A Tribute to Frida Kahlo", an award-winning dance-theater production by renowned Catalan choreographer Enrique Gasa Valga. This contemporary homage celebrates the life and art of Frida Kahlo, an icon of feminism, pop culture, and art in Mexico and beyond.
The production, which runs from August 19th to 24th, features 14 specific scenes and a live performance of the title piece, "Viva la Vida - A Tribute to Frida Kahlo". The musical director for the production, Roberto Tubaro, has composed original music for the performance, some of which will be performed live.
The musical arrangements are specifically tailored to the production, with a mix of rearranged old boleros, tangos, and traditional Mexican folk songs. The live band will play well-known songs such as "La Llorona", "Paloma Negra", and "Volver Volver".
Enrique Gasa Valga's masterful production captures Frida Kahlo's indomitable spirit through movement and artistic representation. The production centres around the art shaped by Frida Kahlo's pain, loss, passion, and unyielding will.
The Enrique Gasa Valga Dance Company consists of a dozen dancers who bring Frida's life story to life on stage. Gasa Valga draws inspiration from Frida's extraordinary personality for his production.
Frida Kahlo's unique legacy continues to touch and inspire countless people worldwide. Last year marked the 70th anniversary of her death, making this tribute all the more poignant.
