Helena Noguerra declared, as a joke, that she wanted to screw Luchini’s business! “It was a joke, I don’t have that ambition at all. This is a way of saying that I would like to make reading popular.“The actress reads Frida Kahlo’s letters on stage, letters to the people around her, her doctors, her loves, after an accident which almost cost her life and left her disabled.

Why Frida Kahlo, painter who became a feminist emblem? Everything comes from an order for a reading festival in Biarritz, Helena Noguerra had already read the letters of the younger painter, but had not “not hung up more than that“. A friend told her, as she left the stage, all the attention he received during her friend’s reading. On stage, the singer felt a mystical bond with the painter, reading her words. “80 years later, I come on stage to give his words, his words, his pain, I felt invested“.

All his life, this broken body is going to hurt him so much“, Léa Salamé reminds us, she will start painting because of boredom, because she feels alone. Reading the words of Frida Kahlo, “I paint myself because I am alone“, the singer felt a parallel feeling of loneliness. “The body is doing very well, it also exists in my life, it has another place, it is too important for other reasons.” confides the former model.
I am not pierced by an iron bar, I am not disabled, but there is a parallel that I understand“, confides Helena Noguerra, who feels a little left out.
