Leonora, la maga y la maestra
Porsgrunn Internasjonale Teaterfestival
June 9 & 10 at Double Edge Theatre, 948 Conway Road in Ashfield MA
“… a peek into an expansive world – a hallucinatory, symbol-heavy tour of Carrington’s fervid mind.”– New York Times Critic’s Pick
Inspired by the visual art, writings and life of British-born Mexican artist Leonora Carrington and her mentorship of a long line of male artists, this surreal performance unfolds an encounter between Leonora and Adán (everyman) and portrays the magic, mystery, and humanity found in Carrington’s work.
On both days, critic and author Susanne Christensen will give an introduction to the performance in the foyer. She has written the book Leonora’s Journey, in which she undertakes a journey in Leonora Carrington’s footsteps, to New York, Mexico and California, in search of Carrington’s life and work.
