Tres Vidas
(Special Event)
Tres Vidas celebrates the life, times and work of three significant Latin and South American women: painter Frida Kahlo of Mexico, peasant activist Rufina Amaya of El Salvador and poet Alfonsina Storni of Argentina. With storylines including Frida Kahlo's dramatic and passionate relationship with painter Diego Rivera, Rufina Amaya's astounding singular survival of the massacre at El Mozote and Alfonsina Storni's life long challenges as Argentina's first great feminist poet, Tres Vidas presents dramatic situations timeless in their emotional appeal and connection to audiences across all gender and ethnic spectrums. Tres Vidas is a chamber music theatre work conceived and performed by the Core Ensemble (cell, piano and percussion) and featuring Desiree Rodgriguez as Frida Kahlo, Rufina Amaya and Alfonsina Storni. This performance is sponsored by Academic Support Services, Multicultural Programs and Services, Office for Equity and Inclusion, Office of Graduate Recruitment and Diversity Initiatives, Women's Center, College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences and the Latino Association of Student Organizations.
