Infinita Frida English trailer without text

About the performance Infinita Frida is a production with an incredible story. It began in 2013, when choreographer Yuri Smekalov together with Elisa Carrillo Cabrera and Mikhail Kaniskin, principal dancers with Staatsballett Berlin, came up with the idea of a ballet about the legendary Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. The biography of the artist – full of dramatic events: changes of fate, love, battle with death – is a fascinating subject to work with in any form, from film to opera. This ballet by Yuri Smekalov offers a different viewpoint, outside of popularization of the painter's life story. Infinita Frida is a display of Kahlo’s artistry, a rendition of her paintbrush strokes, where colors are more important than a melodramatic narrative. Alexander Maev, the composer, created an original score that combines Mexican and European cultures. The artistic director Elisey Shepelev designed a stage set that embodies the spirit of Frida’s works. Artists of Mariinsky Theatre and Staatsballet Berlin brilliantly brought to life Yuri Smekalov’s ideas on stage. In 2015 the production was brought back to the stage, this time St. Petersburg, with a new cast. That was also the moment a newly established artist collective, MAD Company, leapt onto the stage. In 2020, during the global pandemic, Infinita Frida was re-imagined as a first in Russia online ballet in forms of an online quest accessible through messaging platforms and an on-demand ballet film in partnership with IVI, the leading video streaming service in Russia.
