Yesterday we went to see a Cuban production of a play called Cintas de Seda and it was amazing! It was essentially about this hospital sort of thing where Frida Kahlo was brough back to life and was being taken care of by Sor Juana Inés de la cruz which I think Gris would have really liked. I recorded some of it on my camera but the sound isn't really great since we were sitting in the 12th row. The overall theme was women who are ostracized for following the passions embedded deep within their hearts even though for Frida it meant that people saw her as an obscenity and Sor Juana tried to devote her life to christ but was filled with lines of poetry and verses even though it was inappropriate for a nun to write or even think about strong, powerful female figures. It was good, real good.
Can't wait to see the clips, it sounds very interesting.
