The Performing Arts Series is hosted by the Waynesburg University Fine Arts Department. During the Spring 2020 Semester, we again bring in Core Ensembles for another wonderful presentation. This musical project celebrates Latin American Women and Diversity Education.
This play is educational well as entertaining and hopefully leaves the audience with the desire to learn more about these very prominent Latin-American women.
"Tres Vidas" (Three Lives) is based on the lives of three legendary Latin-American Women: Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, Salvadoran peasant activist Rufina Amaya, and Argentinean poet Alfonsina Storni.
- 3 LIVES
- 3 CULTURES
- 3 COUNTRIES
Text is by Marjorie Agosin. The show features a wide stylistic range of music, including popular and folk songs of Mexico, El Salvador and Argentina, vocal and instrumental tangos by Carlos Gardel and Astor Piazzolla and new music was written especially for the Core Ensemble by Osvaldo Golijov, Orlando Garcia, Pablo Ortiz, and Manuel DeMurga.
