Grand Rapids Ballet: Broken Wings

Broken Wings is a one-act ballet that tells the story of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, choreographed by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa. The music, composed by Peter Salem, features the Mexican folk song "La Llorona". The ballet explores Kahlo's life and art, with costumes inspired by her self-portrait The Broken Column.

Attendees can expect a dramatic performance that combines dance and narrative. The Grand Rapids Ballet brings this piece to the stage, offering a moving portrayal of Kahlo's resilience and creativity.

This presentation continues the ballet's legacy, having been originally commissioned by the English National Ballet and later expanded into a full-length version for Dutch National Ballet.
