CRITIC'S PICK:
Fri., May 8 - Sun., May 10
Frida, Atlanta Ballet - The creative team behind 'Coco Chanel: The Life of a Fashion Icon' has turned its attention to the legendary Frida Kahlo. With an original score by Peter Salem, choreography by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, and artistic input from Nancy Meckler, 'Frida' is a full-length narrative ballet that follows the story of the Mexican artist's life, expressing through motion her turbulent marriage, her artistic legacy and the physical and emotional upheavals she weathered. "Choreography has been the way I can spotlight and celebrate the lives and complexities of trailblazing women in history," Ochoa says, adding, "Frida's story is one of female empowerment, resilience and self-expression." Subjects such as infidelity and pregnancy loss are addressed in the story; the performance is therefore recommended for ages 13 and over with parental guidance. - Kevin C. Madigan
