“What exactly is the purpose of art in the face of fascism? Can art serve the poor, and if so, how?”— Carmen Aguirre Tina Modotti’s story unfolds in 1920s Mexico City, where her art flourished and she engaged with icons like Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Later she abandoned photography to join the anti-fascist cause and run the Red Aid Hospital during the Spanish Civil War. Performed by a seven-actor ensemble, this gorgeous new play blends styles and forms, chronicling the extraordinary life of an artist who became a revolutionary.
