ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The dance group “Metamorfose” from Terceira Island, Azores, presented a contemporary dance show, entitled “Kahlo, Contemporary Dance”. As a way of celebrating the “International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women” (November 25), the group took the stage and the story and life of “Frida Kahlo”, which was considered by many to be the reference, for its originality and capacity overcoming. With a multifaceted personality, he was not afraid to face life, despite all the adversities it imposed on him. Endowed with strength, passion and unusual versatility, it was this woman's story that these three dancers gave life to her in a show full of emotion.
On stage, each dancer approached a stage experienced by the artist, such as the accident that caused the greatest suffering in her life and triggered her intense and irreverent art; the pain of not being able to carry a pregnancy through to the end; the anguish of a great love highlighted by betrayals; and an unstable state of health.
