Frida
From the same team who created Broken Wings (ENB), Frida delves further into the complex and rich life of Frida Kahlo for this full length ballet commissioned by Dutch National Ballet - less a linear story of the artist’s life and more a visual reimagining of how she felt and experienced the world.

… … Salem’s excellent bespoke score, performed by the Het Balletorkest under the direction of Matthew Rowe.
The percussive composition of Peter Salem, which is based on Mexican music genres, is as compelling as a film soundtrack.
