The story
The Blue House isn't a house: it's an emotional, political and artistic minefield. Frida is tired, brilliant and sharp-tongued; Diego is charming, excessive and provocative.
Nobody knows who's who. Everyone pretends to admire the art, everyone eavesdrops, everyone lies a little. While mezcal flows, people conspire; while they paint, they decide the fate of a hunted man and the future value of a living artist.
How it works
On arrival, each guest secretly receives an identity — collector or spy — and a hidden goal. Collectors must get Frida's authentic signature; she doesn't sign for money, only for connection, provocation or boredom.
Spies must figure out which guest is Trotsky in disguise and accuse him publicly: if they're wrong, he escapes. All night long, guests paint a giant canvas; each paints an emotion, and no one can erase anyone else's work.
The characters
- Frida Kahlo: brilliant, sharp and tired of being seen as an investment.

History and culture in every scene
As in all our experiences, the hosts' dialogue and the event's activities are written with real information about Mexican history and culture. You have fun and, without even noticing, you learn. The characters share real facts, dates and anecdotes from Mexican history; the fiction is there to make those facts stick.
