La Casa Azul
December 2006, Lumley Studio, Canterbury
Writer : Sophie Faucher
(based on The Intimate Diaries of Frida Kahlo)
Designer : Kate Matthews
Director : Tawny Cortes
Photography : Paul Davis
The design for La Casa Azul (“The Blue House”) is dominated by twisted tramlines covered in the gold paint claimed to have been spilt over Frida during her near fatal accident. Death (La Pelona) looms temptingly over her bed throughout.
