El Entrecejo / The Brow is a solo movement theater piece by Angeles Romero, an actor, writer, and activist whose work mediates on the new lexicon of contemporary Latino culture and its political relations to Anglo and international cultures. el entrecejo/the brow flashbacks Frida Kahlo’s life and the moment after her death (Frida Kahlo, Mexican, 1907-1954). Frida’s work is explicitly autobiographical. In her paintings she narrates her childhood bout with polio; the near-fatal bus accident at 18, her tempestuous marriage to Mexican muralist Diego Rivera, her love affairs, her many surgeriesâ€"nearly 30 altogetherâ€"and finally her death. Carlos Fuentes, Mexican writer, elegantly compares Kahlo’s fractured self to the schisms and disjunctions, the wars and succession of empires, the turbulence that existed within each epoch of Mexico. While exploring the identity of a highly complex woman and her nation, this play proffers many questions. What do we do to survive? How do we create? What would we sacrifice the ultimate for?

  • She is as alluring, enigmatic, as

    the Ángeles I once met in Austin.

    ¿ Por qué te sigo buscando, gitana querida ?

    ¿ Por qué te sigues escapando, escurriéndote de mis manos, como puñado de arena ?

    Ya sabes cómo encontrarme, sabes quién soy, tu alucinación terrible . . . .
