Calle Allende by Pinned & Sewtured

The Ballard is thrilled to present Calle Allende by Pinned & Sewtured. Shackled by restraints of reality, Frida finds herself unable to paint. In a moment of desperation, she re-discovers her life source—the other Frida. Calle Allende is inspired by an entry in Frida Kahlo’s diary about “The Two Fridas”. Calle Allende, a puppet theater production, brings to life Frida’s struggle to reconcile her broken self and dying inspiration. Frida’s pain has clouded her, but in a moment of clarity she soon realizes that without her imagination she will lose her lifeline. Recommended for ages 14+ due to adult themes of pain and death.
