Still Life tells the story of the decades-long friendship between iconic artists, Georgia O’Keefe of the United States and Mexico’s Frida Kahlo. Based on personal diaries, recollections and biographies, the narrative is a fascinating tapestry of fact and fiction, as the two women emerge from behind the shadows cast by their men (Hugo Stieglitz and Diego Rivera), to live their own lives of acclaim. The women reveal their secrets and their private lives in scenes interwoven with the music of cello (by playwright Harry Clark) and guitar (by Ivan Maceda) in this remarkable work in development.
Beth Grant (2010 Ovation Award winner Best Actress) portrays O’ Keefe. Zilah Mendoza plays Kahlo.
Videography by Bill Kersey.
Dan Guerrero directs. Also a writer and producer, he appeared at Los Angeles Theatre Center in his own autobiographical show in 2007.
