Frida's soul echos in many of us. Frida's diversities, love, injuries, suffering were the subject for her work. A unique life, an exceptional woman. "Ana Lines' one- woman Frida Kahlo show is a tour de force. Everything works, from her charming storytelling style to the brilliant narrative structure of the show which allows her to interweave 3 folktales into Frida's extraordinary life story."
