Read the buzz about Frida…

There’s always something intriguing brewing at Matthew Posey’s Ochre House. Currently it’s : Ex Voto : The Immaculate Conceptions of Frida Kahlo, his homage to Mexican iconoclast painter, Frida Kahlo. Steeped in inventive, extensive imagery of El Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) Ex Voto explains and extols Kahlo’s painful journey as she struggles to come to terms with chronic injury, illness, and her tumultuous marriage to muralist Diego Rivera. Posey uses huge reproductions of Kahlo’s paintings, life-sized skeleton puppets, tableaux, and a witty, yet very serious mariachi trio of death musicians. Read more

Seeing any show at Matthew Posey's 40-seat Ochre House is a bit like watching a circus unfold in a walk-in closet. So much happens in so little square footage that you come out with your head buzzing, wondering why a big theater like the Wyly doesn't use its vast expanse this creatively. Read more

As a total theatrical package, Ex Voto stuns all the senses. Not for the weak of heart, it offers a guided tour of the private hell that produced all those fantastic paintings. Read more
