Tres Vidas: A Musical Drama

Friday, October 23, Cecilia Cohen Recital Hall

Admission: Free

Tres Vidas (Three Lives) is a live musical-theatre work for singing actress and onstage music trio (cello, piano and percussion), based on the lives of three legendary Latin American Women: Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, Salvadoran peasant activist Rufina Amaya and Argentine poet Alfonsina Storni. The text (here in English) was written by award-winning Chilean writer Marjorie Agosín, and the music ranges from traditional Mexican folk and Argentine tango songs sung in Spanish to instrumental works by composers such as Astor Piazzolla and Osvaldo Golijov. This event is co-sponsored by the Department of Foreign Languages, Women’s Studies, and Intercultural and Interdisciplinary Studies.
